Sensory problems are prominent among the symptoms seen in autism. Sensory problems reduce the individual's harmony with the environment and prevent him/her from exhibiting appropriate behaviors. It reduces the individual's adaptation to life, prevents him/her from showing daily living skills, makes it difficult for him/her to achieve academic learning and has problems in self-care. With the integrative approach of sensory integration therapy, the individual's behavior improves and it can help to ensure the formation and control of the self. It provides treatment support in minimizing the specified problems.
Effects of Occupational Therapy and Sensory Integration in Autism Treatment
With the development of medical technology and the widespread use of neuropsychological testing, neurobiological and neuroinflammatory screening techniques, research has increased. There are research results on magnetic stimulation techniques in autism. Occupational therapy studies in this field continue in autism research centers and other research centers. We follow the developing technological innovations and apply them in the most up-to-date form in our hospital.
Is there a New Modeling in Autism Treatment Approach with Occupational Therapy and Sensory Integration?
Currently, with the development of the field of occupational therapy in the world, variations can be seen in occupational therapy activities with cultural differences and language variability. The studies of the applications of sensory integration therapy within the models made on autism may differ. With the studies carried out, it is possible to create new modeling on autism with occupational therapy activities.
