Sensory-Motor Integration for Sensory Processing and Balance in ASD

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder often experience significant sensory processing issues and motor coordination challenges, particularly balance deficits. This study evaluates a sensory-motor integration intervention aimed at improving sensory modulation and motor abilities. Participants aged 6 to 12 years are randomized into two groups: an intervention group participating in structured sensory-motor exercises (64 sessions, 4 times weekly, 45 minutes per session), and a control group receiving conventional therapy (primarily Applied Behavior Analysis and massage therapy). Outcomes are assessed using standardized measures: the Short Sensory Profile (SSP) for sensory processing and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) for balance, at baseline and immediately following the intervention period.
