Effectiveness of sensory processing strategies on activity level in inclusive preschool classrooms

Abstract: BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of sensory processing strategies in improving the activity level of children with sensory integration dysfunction.MethodsThe study used a matching-only pretest–posttest control group design, which requires random matching of sensory integration dysfunction to the corresponding intervention group (n = 18) and control group (n = 18). The intervention group comprised 3–6-year-old children who received an 8-week school-day intervention during… Show more

For instance, weighted vests are recommended for children with ASDs ( 62 ). Moreover, some studies indicate that weighted blankets can improve sleep in children with ASDs ( 63 ).…”

In a series of studies, sensory modulation rooms, called “comfort rooms,” effectively reduced aggressive behaviors and restraint usage on inpatient psychiatric units (Bjorkdahl, Perseius, Samuelsson, & Lindberg, 2016; Brown et al, 2015; Chalmers, Harrison, Mollison, Molloy, & Gray, 2012; Cummings, Grandfield, & Coldwell, 2010; S.…”
