4 4 SAllen NAS 2011
5 high and consistent levels of impairing sensory problems from childhood to adulthood in almost all individuals diagnosed with classic autism Klintwall SAllen NAS 2011
6 5-15 % general population (Miller 2006) 70% incidence of Sensory Modulation Disorder (Adamson and O Hare 2006) 6 SAllen NAS 2011
7 Sensory Modulation Difficulties 70 to 90 % Adamson SAllen NAS 2011
8 Sensory Processing and Integration issues Pain and hearing were the most commonly affected modalities (Klintwall 2010) Adults with Autism report more sensory sensitivity to touch, vision, sound, smell, taste and movement (Tavossoli 2010) 8 SAllen NAS 2011
9 Sensory Processing and Integration issues Children with ASD demonstrate low scores on all tests of praxis compared with typically developing children (Siaperas 2011) 90% Motor Difficulties (Green 2010) 9 SAllen NAS 2011
10 Neuroscience Multisensory enriched environments, contextualised with cognitive demand facilitate neuroplasticity and thus growth, development and behaviour (Lane and Schaaf 2010) 10 SAllen NAS 2011
11 11 SAllen NAS 2011
12 How do sensory processing and integration difficulties impact on every day life? 12 SAllen NAS 2011
13 Sensory processing impacts on Occupation Adapted from Koenig and Rudney 2010, Jasmin SAllen NAS 2011
14 Assessment may include: Questionnaires e.g. Sensory Profile, Sensory Processing Measure Observation of motor skills and response to sensation Standardised Assessment e.g. Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests 14 SAllen NAS 2011
15 15 SAllen NAS 2011
16 Approaches to Intervention 1. Sensory Integration Therapy 2. Provide consultation including education and activity planning with carers, identification of sensory strategies for daily life 16 SAllen NAS 2011
17 1. Sensory Integration Therapy Parham :1 treatment with an Occupational Therapist, Physiotherapist or Speech and Language Therapist who has received post graduate training in Sensory Integration Treatment sessions meet specific criteria including multiple sensory experiences, novelty in the environment, active engagement in challenging cognitive, sensory and motor tasks 17 SAllen NAS 2011
18 Treatment Space 18 SAllen NAS 2011
19 19 SAllen NAS 2011
20 1. Sensory Integration Therapy Greater changes than active control group in Cognitive/ Social and electrodermal activity Changes in self stimulatory behaviour Changes in Individualised goals Changes in sensory behaviours Miller 2010, Pfeffer SAllen NAS 2011
21 Author Design Subjects Age range (years) Smith 2005 ABAB OT-SI vs Table Top 7 PDD or Severe mental Retardation Summary OT/SI Autistic Spectrum Intervention 8-19 Mixed 5 sessions per week of 30 minutes Outcome Significant Reduction in Self Stimulatory Behaviour Miller 2007 OT-SI vs Activity vs No Rx 24 (15 with ADHD, 1 Anxiety) 3-11 NO 20 x 1 hour sessions over 10 weeks Significant gains in individualised GAS, Attention, Cognitive/ social and reduced Electrodermal responsivity amplitude Pfeiffer 2011 OT-SI vs Fine Motor All 18 X 45 mins over 6 weeks Significant positive changes in GAS (Sensory processing, motor skills and social functioning) 21 Sue Allen and Sue Delport Nov 2011
22 OT/ SI Adult Population Urwin and Ballinger s (2005) study conducted with adults with learning disabilities indicate that there are changes in behaviours associated with sensory processing difficulties after Sensory Integration assessment and intervention. Further studies are needed to confirm and support these findings. 22 SAllen NAS 2011
23 Consultation To parent, teachers or careers to support understanding and shared development of support strategies e.g. Warm ups before seated activities 23 SAllen NAS 2011
24 Consultation What are my own sensory needs? What strategies are available to me? How can I use the environment or myself for self regulation? How will my choice of daily activity influence my ability to develop? 24 SAllen NAS 2011
25 Sensory Strategies/ Techniques 1) Touch based treatments e.g. Massage led to changes in touch aversion, joint attention and initiating behaviour also reduction in autistic behaviours 2) Weighted Vests mixed evidence 3) Therapy balls as a seating alternative substantial improvement on in seat behaviour 25 SAllen NAS 2011
