Page 3: Sensory

Obtain basic knowledge of sensory integration and

the sense systems

Obtain awareness and the use of different

strategies

to address sensory needs

Gain skills and competence in meeting these needs

for students

Page 4: Sensory

The ability in which we are able to take in information through our sense systems

and effectively utilize the information to

respond to the environmental

demands.

Jean Ayres developed her work on

sensory integration in the 1960’s

and 70’s and was an Occupational

Therapist for many years.

Because of her explanation of

sensory integration theory people

began to understand Sensory

Integration as a neurological

process that helps to organize

sensory information that the body

takes in from all the seven senses.

•Professionals and parents have frequently observed that individuals with ASD process sensory information in atypical ways

•Increased Prevalence

•Sensory processing disorders in children with ASD

•Impact on Daily Living and School Environments

• Case-Smith and Bryan (1999)

Play and social interaction behaviors of preschool aged children with Autism

Children with ASD can commonly have behavior change while participating in intervention using a sensory integration approach

•Wiggins, Robins, Bakeman, and Adamson (2009)

More atypical responses (tactile sensitivity, auditory filtering, and taste and smell sensitivity)

• Tomchek and Dunn (2007)

Found that children with ASD have different domains of sensory processing (tactile, auditory, oral-sensory, sensory seeking)

Behaviors are significantly different compared to typically developing children

95% of the sample of children with ASD demonstrated some degree of sensory processing dysfunction

YES….because learning requires

The child’s behavior and alertness to be in an optimal state to maintain attention to tasks.

The child’s motor skills to be in an optimal state to perform and learn new tasks successfully.

YES… When sensory input is confusing or

upsetting, the child may actively avoid the situation, become upset or have an emotional outburst .

When the child does not register enough stimulation he may seek it out by constantly moving, chewing, humming, or flapping or he may seem tired, uninterested and passive.

A personalized schedule of sensory activities that gives a child the sensory fuel their body needs to get into an organized state and stay there.

Provides the sensory input necessary at regular intervals throughout the day to maintain appropriate arousal and sustain attention for each desired activity.

Often we get caught up trying to manage behavior without understanding it. When observing a child’s behavior we should pay particular attention to the four A’s. Arousal Attention Affect Action
