Brief Summary:
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurological development with onset in infancy or early childhood. Atypical sensory processing has been widely reported in ASD, and recent literature suggest that this abnormality extends across the life span, with consequent important implications in every-day life of autistic individuals and their families. Multisensory environments have been used in children with ASD precisely as a function of this particular difference in sensory processing and some studies have highlighted potential benefits. Therefore, the aim of our study is to verify feasibility and efficacy of an integrated treatment program with the multisensory room compared to as usual treatment in patients with ASD.
Detailed Description:
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurological development with onset in infancy or early childhood. In the Fifth Edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, sensory features were finally take into account and atypical responses to sensory stimuli was included in the diagnostic criterion, such as the presence of hyper- or hypo-responsiveness to sensory inputs or unusual interests towards sensory aspects of the environment, and it must be considered (APA 2013). Atypical sensory processing has been widely reported in ASD, and recent literature suggest that this abnormality extends across the life span, with consequent important implications in every-day life of autistic individuals and their families.
Multisensory environments have been used in children with ASD precisely as a function of this particular difference in sensory processing and some studies have highlighted potential benefits. The multisensory rooms were designed to provide multiple stimulation opportunities that cover all sensory channels. Among the present literature data, interventions targeting sensory integration seems to be useful in reducing challenging behaviors in many individuals with developmental disabilities including ASD (Novakovic N. et al. 2019; Kaplan H. et al., 2006; McKee et al. 2007). The aim of our study is to verify feasibility and efficacy of an integrated treatment program with the multisensory room compared to as usual treatment in patients with ASD.
