Background: Children with autism should interact and get along with their surrounding environment. Therefore, the researchers must try to explain the reasons of challenges in their adaptive behaviors. This study aimed to evaluate levels of challenges in sensory processing and the motor domain of adaptive behavior among children with autism in Egypt, and to explore the effect of sensory processi...

Abstract Sensory processing and motor coordination atypicalities are not commonly identified as primary characteristics of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), nor they well captured in the NIMH’s original Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework. Here, sensory features performed similarly to RDoC support vector classification 30 ASD youth against 33 typically developing controls. Combining with bo...

Sensory perception is one of the most fundamental brain functions allowing individuals to properly interact and adapt a constantly changing environment. This process requires integration bottom-up top-down neuronal activity that centrally mediated by basal forebrain, region has been linked series cognitive processes such as attention alertness.
 Here, we review latest research using optoge...

Sensory processing differences in preschool-age children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affect their engagement in everyday activities, thereby influencing opportunities to practice and develop skills such as social communication and adaptive behavior. The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which specific sensory processing patterns relate to aspects of development (i.e...

CLINICAL SCENARIO : Children with psychiatric disabilities such as Pervasive Development Disorder (PDD), Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and learning disabilities often have difficulties processing and interpreting sensory information. These difficulties may contribute to problems attending to schoolwork, behavioural problems or overall decreased productivity in a given...

A high incidence of sensory processing difficulties exists in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and children with Sensory Modulation Disorder (SMD). This is the first study to directly compare and contrast these clinical disorders. Sympathetic nervous system markers of arousal and reactivity were utilized in a laboratory paradigm that administered a series of sensory challenges acros...
