Sensory Integration Interventions in Children with ASD
Title (literature review) : An exploration into the effects of sensory integration on participation in children diagnosed with ASD in occupational therapy
Possible Research question for above title : What are the effects of implementing individually tailored interventions and personalised approaches on participation within sensory integration for children with ASD in occupational therapy?
Gap I found within the literature (only require one for assignment)
Individual Differences and Personalised Interventions: ASD is a spectrum disorder with significant heterogeneity among individuals. Not all children with ASD may respond similarly to the same intervention due to factors like sensory preferences and cognitive abilities. There is a need for research that explores the effectiveness of sensory integration interventions tailored to individual needs and sensory profiles. Investigating personalized approaches could lead to more targeted and effective interventions.
