Translated title:
Correlation of Sensory Profile to the Vineland Scale in preschool and school age children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder
Summary:
Backround. Taking part in daily life activities for children with ASD involves many challenges and is influenced by many factors that embody the need for adaptive behavior. One of these factors is Sensory Disorder, which refers to the environmental sensation, the organization and interpretation of the sensory stimulus, using the seven sensory systems (Miller & Lane, 2000). Objective. The purpose of the present study is to detect the correlation between the sensory processing disorder and the functional and adaptive behaviors, while controlling the mediation factors of age and general intelligence in this relationship. Method. In this study, 101 preschool and school age children were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder diagnosis –in accordance with ICD-10- and the scores from the Sensory Profile, the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales and Wisc-III, were taken, while the method used was the dossiers review taken by St. Sophia hospital the period from 2002 to 2017. Results. The results show that some of the factors associated with a particular sensory impairment disorder affect the functional domains differently. At the same time, it was found that age and intelligence quotient correlated significantly with the functional domains, however they did not play a mediating role in this relationship. Conclusions. The sensory modulation disorder affects some areas of daily functionality.
