The Savasana may help to reduce anxiety in children with ADHD.The study was conducted to study the effect of Savasana along with conventional sensory integration therapy on anxiety levels of Chidren with ADHD & compare the anxiety level in children with ADHD receiving conventional Sensory integrative therapy. Children meeting inclusion criterion were allocated in two groups and were evaluated on Revised Children`s Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS) at the baseline,at 4 weeks & at 8th week. There was signicant difference in improvement at 8th week follow-up between the groups with p< 0.001. The Savasana being integral part of Yoga, Savasana can help in reducing the anxiety.The parents expressed satisfaction, as they noted reduction in hyperactivity of their child & improved attention during short term activities.

Facial nerve palsy is a condition with several implications, particularly when occurring in childhood. it can be congenital or acquired. The unilateral facial paralysis can be suspected when, in absence of front and nasolabial groove motility, there is also asymmetry of the face with buccal deviation when crying. The custom-made Facial splint of low-temperature thermoplastic material can support the weak muscle & prevent the deviation. The infant was referred to Occupational Therapy with facial palsy grade IV. The aim of our study is evaluating the immediate functional outcome, while using the custom-made splint. The patient was assessed twice (i.e. Baseline & after 6 weeks) on Neonatal Behavioral Assessment scale (NBAS), Neonatal Oral Motor Assessment Scale (NOMAS), Nonnutritive sucking scoring system, Preterm Infant Feeding Readiness Assessment Scale & Parent stress scale was used to track the feeding readiness & parental stress respectively during intervention. On NBAS, Level 3 to level 5. On NNSS, infant scored 2 to 6 scoring system on non-nutritive sucking & on NOMAS baby scored from 19 to 22. Her ability to initiate suck was improved considerably. Improvement in scores of Preterm Infant Feeding Readiness Assessment Scale at baseline & after 6 weeks. Infant scored 65 to 57 on Parent Stress Scale. In this study, Family Centered approach & the need-based intervention, a custom-made facial splint of low-temperature thermoplastic material along with face strap effective to facial palsy patient, along with conventional Occupational Therapy intervention.
