Caregivers’ Assessment of the Sensory Processing Patterns Exhibited by Children with Autism in the Gulf Region
This study explored the nature, prevalence, and developmental profiles of sensory processing disorders among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The participants comprised 119 children with ASD and 30 typically developing children and their parents. The Child Sensory Profile-2 was used to assess the children’s sensory processing characteristics. The children with ASD exhibited elevated sensory processing difficulties. Deficits were observed in all the sensory modalities among the children with ASD, except the visual processing modality. Age-related improvements were observed in most sensory processing domains, although non-significant differences were noted in three domains. These findings should enhance understanding of the sensory challenges faced by children with ASD and contribute to the development of individually tailored, targeted, and age-specific therapeutic interventions.

Autism, sensory & behavior : the way I see it
\"Dr. Temple Grandin draws on her own experience to deliver an essential resource for guiding and nurturing autistic children with sensory and behavior challenges. As always, she gets to the REAL issues of autism--the ones parents, teachers, and those on the spectrum face every day. Most autistic individuals deal with a variety of sensory differences, and in this book Dr. Grandin sheds light on the best ways for them to adapt and thrive. In these helpful pages, Dr. Grandin offers do's and don'ts, practical strategies, and try-it-now tips, all based on her insider perspective and extensive research\"--Page 4 of cover.

Sensory Processing and Executive Functioning in Autistic Adults
Purpose
One of the core features that can be experienced by adults on the autism spectrum is hyper- and hyporeactivity to sensory stimuli. Research suggests that executive functioning (EF) impairments are related to sensory issues. In this study the relationship between sensory processing issues and EF was investigated. We expected sensory processing issues to predict EF impairments.
Methods
Thirty men and 30 women on the autism spectrum, 20 men and 24 women without autism were included and matched on intelligence and age. Group comparisons were conducted to determine if groups differed regarding self-reported sensory processing issues (GSQ-NL) and self-reports on EF (BRIEF-A). Correlational and regression analyses were carried out to investigate the relationship between self-reports on GSQ-NL and BRIEF-A.
Results
We found significant differences between men and women on the spectrum with regard to sensory processing issues and EF. Hyporeactivity to sensory information explained most of the EF problems.
Conclusion
Clinicians should be aware of differences in sensory experiences between adults on the spectrum and non-autistic adults and differences between men and women during assessment and subsequent counselling.

Building social skills for autism, sensory processing disorders and learning disabilities : over 105 strategies, activities and sensory tools for children and adolescents
\"This new framework for developing a dynamic social skills program using the sensory system is a way to explore why kids react that way they do socially. With this framework in mind, professionals can build on children's self-awareness and social acumen\"--Page 4 of cover.

Effect of ayres sensory integration ®-based occupational therapy intervention on sensory processing in a child with 4p trisomy and 10q monosomy: a case report
Background
This study examined the effects of Ayres Sensory Integration
®
(ASI) -based occupational therapy intervention on sensory processing in a 12-month-old boy with Trisomy 4p and Monosomy 10q.
Case presentation
Sensory processing was assessed using the Test of Sensory Functions in Infants (TSFI) before and after a 24-week intervention consisting of twice-weekly, 45-minute individualized ASI
®
sessions conducted by a certified occupational therapist. Increases in raw scores were observed across all TSFI subdomains and the total score. Improvements were observed in raw scores across all TSFI subdomains and in the total score. Notably, visual-tactile integration and oculomotor control showed measurable improvement, shifting from the “abnormal” to the “at-risk” range. However, other subdomains remained within the “abnormal” classification, and the overall TSFI classification continued to indicate sensory processing difficulties.
Conclusions
Although positive changes were observed in the child’s responses and abilities following the intervention, the severity of his sensory processing challenges indicates a need for ongoing long-term therapeutic support.

Performance of Daily Living Activities of Autistic Children With Sensory Processing Difficulties: Caregivers′ Perceptions
Sensory integration difficulties are common among autistic children and can significantly affect their occupational performance, particularly in activities of daily living (ADLs). Despite the increasing recognition of these challenges, few studies have specifically examined how sensory and praxis difficulties interfere with functional autonomy in daily routines.
This study is aimed at analyzing caregivers' perceptions of sensory processing difficulties and their impact on the performance of autistic children in basic ADLs.
A qualitative, descriptive study was conducted with caregivers of children aged 3-8 years diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), recruited from a private pediatric rehabilitation clinic in Brazil. Data were collected through semistructured interviews focusing on children's engagement in and performance of ADLs. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using thematic content analysis with the support of MAXQDA software to systematically identify and categorize recurring sensory and motor-related difficulties reported by caregivers.
Caregivers consistently reported that sensory processing difficulties had a significant negative impact on multiple domains of daily living activities, notably feeding, personal hygiene, dressing, bathing, and toileting, resulting in a restricted active and independent participation. Sensory modulation difficulties, including patterns of hyperresponsiveness and hyporesponsiveness, affected performance across all assessed activities. Sensory discrimination difficulties were particularly evident in dressing and toileting tasks. Praxis-related difficulties were identified in all children and manifested as challenges in ideation, motor planning, and motor execution, which collectively compromised functional performance across daily activities and increased dependence on caregivers during daily routines.
Sensory processing difficulties involving modulation, discrimination, and praxis substantially limit functional independence and occupational engagement in children with ASD. These findings highlight the importance of individualized occupational therapy interventions tailored to each child's sensory and motor profile, with the aim of supporting participation, autonomy, and engagement in everyday activities.

Emotion Dysregulation Mediates the Relationship Between Sensory Processing and Behavior Problems in Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Preliminary Study
Emotion dysregulation is one of the challenges that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families face. It is unclear whether emotion dysregulation plays a mediating role in the relationship between sensory processing patterns and problem behaviors among these children. This study examined the relations between emotion dysregulation, behavioral problems, and sensory processing patterns among fifty-seven young children with ASD. Behavioral problems and sensory processing patterns were moderately to strongly correlated with emotion dysregulation. The relationship between sensory processing patterns and behavioral problems was significant with emotion dysregulation as a mediator. These findings help identify the relationship between emotion dysregulation, sensory processing patterns, and behavioral problems to facilitate the planning of intervention strategies for young children with ASD.
