“…In particular, regulating responses to sensation (sensory reactivity) is important for maintaining optimal states of alertness and focus for attention to tasks. Moreover, behaviors associated with atypical sensory stimuli reflect exaggerated responses and an unusual interest in sensory aspects of the environment, which may limit the performance of activities of daily living as well as social activities and play [6][7][8]. Recently the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Tracking Network (2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014), considering the above patterns of sensory reactivity, estimated a prevalence of sensory features at 74% [9].…”

Background: Phelan–McDermid syndrome (PMS) is caused by the loss (deletion) of a small portion of chromosome 22 in a region designated q13.3 (22q13.3 deletion). PMS is one of the most common genetic forms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in which sensory reactivity difficulties have been described on limited occasions. Methods: The objective of this study is to identify whether changes in sensory reactivity skills occur after one year of follow-up in a group of 44 participants diagnosed with PMS. All participants completed the Short Sensory Profile (SSP). Two-factor ANOVA tests were performed with repeated measures for the study of the evolution of the scores. Results: Participants with PMS showed significant changes after one year of follow-up in sensory reactivity skills associated with tactile hyperreactivity (p = 0.003). The rest of the study variables did not show significant differences compared to the baseline assessment, showing definite differences associated with patterns of hypo-responsiveness and sensory seeking, low/weak energy, and difficulties in auditory filtering. Conclusions: Understanding the evolution of sensory reactivity skills can facilitate the adjustment to behavioral changes in people with PMS and design-targeted interventions to address sensory reactivity challenges.

The article explores sensory integration as a crucial element of neuropsychological correction for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The concept of the spectrum emphasizes the individual nature of manifestations and the variability of symptoms in the development of children with autism spectrum disorder. ASD is considered a psychiatric developmental disorder resulting from the specific features of the central nervous system.It is highlighted that the latest edition of the «Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5)» includes sensory differences as part of the diagnostic profile for children with ASD. Although sensory processing disorder has long been considered in clinical descriptions of ASD. The recognition of sensory differences becomes a key component in understanding ASD, particularly regarding difficulties in social interaction, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors.It has been established that hypo-or hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli is observed in 40 % -80 % of children with ASD, leading to significant difficulties in performing everyday and age-appropriate learning tasks.Instances are noted where children with ASD outperform neurotypical peers in sensory function tests. However, the vast majority experience challenges in language development, fine and gross motor skills, social interaction, and other areas. Categorizing sensory dysfunctions in children with ASD presents challenges due to the diverse range of symptoms, the lack of standardized diagnostic criteria, variations in assessment methods, and limited expertise among professionals.The article concludes by outlining specific groups of exercises utilized for sensory integration in the neuropsychological correction for children with ASD. These include exercises targeting visual and visual-motor stimulation, auditory, olfactory, and tactile stimulation, taste-related exercises, and exercises stimulating Журнал «Перспективи та інновації науки» (Серія «Педагогіка», Серія «Психологія», Серія «Медицина») № 12(30) 2023 611 the child's proprioceptive system. Examples of fundamental exercises with implementation recommendations are provided.The importance of studying international and Ukrainian experiences in sensory integration for neuropsychological correction in children with ASD is emphasized for further research.
