Background and Objectives: Family accommodation (FA) refers to ways in which family members assist the patient in the performance of rituals, compulsions, avoidance of anxiety provoking situations, or modification of daily routines to assist a relative with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The purpose of this study was to study the association between the family accommodation and dimensions of obsessivecompulsive disorder (OCD). Methods: The study was included 45patients and their family members, Yale brown Obsessive-Compulsive scale (YBOCS) was used to assess the severity of OCD in patients and Dimensional Yale brown Obsessive-Compulsive scale (DYBOCS) was used to identify the severity of different dimensions in OCD patients family members were assessed on Family Accommodation Scale for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder-Self Rated version (FAS-SR) for understanding accommodation level in family. A Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the association between variables. Results: FA was found to be highly present in the family of patients with OCD. On the DYBOCS we found the dimension of cleaning and washing were prevalent and highly correlated with FA. Conclusion: The findings suggested that the family accommodation is very common in families of OCD patients and strongly associated with symptom severity of few specific dimensions.

Objective: The aim is to assess the sensory processing difficulties in children and adolescents with ADHD. Methods: In all, 38 ADHD children of the age group 6–14 years and 34 age- and gender-matched typically developing controls were included in the study. Sensory processing was assessed on Child Sensory Profile-2. The child behavior checklist and Weiss functional impairment rating scale were applied to assess behavioral problems and functional impairments, respectively. Results: A significantly higher sensory processing difficulties were seen in children with ADHD than typically developing controls. There were positive correlations between the scores of Child sensory profile 2 with internalizing (with Sensitivity p = .036, Avoiding p = .001, and Auditory p = .029) and externalizing T scores (with Seeking p = .031, Movement p = .025, and Visual p = .018) of CBCL and also with scores of Weiss functional impairment rating scale (with Seeking p = .001, Sensitivity p = .019, and Registration p = .045). Conclusions: Sensory problems were common in children with ADHD and add to the functional impairments.
