Parent Directed Sensory Based Intervention
Occupational Therapy is one of the leading treatment choices by families that have children whom are afflicted with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). One of the most formative treatments used by occupational therapist to combat ASD is sensory integration. This treatment is used when a child with ASD exhibits hypo or hypersensitivity to sensory input from their surroundings. Along with sensory integration, occupational therapists are trying a new family centered approach in early intervention. This approach is known as Parent-Directed Family Centered Sensory Based Intervention (Bulkeley, Bundy, Jacqueline, & Einfeld, 2016). In this paper the organs of ASD its symptoms will be discussed and how it effects …show more content…
(Bulkeley, Bundy, Jacqueline, & Einfeld, 2016) Due to the major impact ASD has on a child’s overall occupational performance; interventions have been created to specifically tailor to the sensory issues these children are exhibiting. These interventions are grouped into two primary categories Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) and Sensory-Based Intervention (SBI) (Watling & Hauer, 2015) ASI is a play-based intervention that uses active engagement in sensory rich activates; this intervention typically occurs in the therapist office where specially designed equipment is used to engage the child in play. SBI on the other hand, typically occurs in the child’s natural environment and consist of applying adult-directed sensory modulates to the child with the aim of producing a short-term effect on self-regulation, attention, or behavioral regulation (Watling & Hauer, 2015). Both interventions are led by a therapist with the goal of increasing tolerance of stimulation to the child affected by …show more content…
(Schaff, et al., 2015) This lead to an experimental design that allowed the parents to direct therapy and the occupational therapist became the coach. It is known as Parent-Directed Family Centered Sensory Based Intervention. (Bulkeley, Bundy, Jacqueline, & Einfeld, 2016) According to the design 67% of occupational therapists use a family centered approach to treatment (Bulkeley, Bundy, Jacqueline, & Einfeld, 2016). Family centered practices prioritize partnerships with families, mobilizing strengths to generate solutions to family-identified goals it is considered the best practice in early intervention services.
