Overview
The aim of the study is to investigate the long-term effects of ASI-based and hybrid neurodevelopmental counseling services on the variables of the Ayres Sensory Integration Assessment Test in children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
Detailed description
After application to the YUGEM Sensory Perception Motor Unit, the child and family will undergo a preliminary assessment. Following the necessary interviews and psychiatric consultation, specialists will decide whether the child is suitable for the Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration (EASI).
Children who are considered suitable for the EASI assessment will be evaluated through a multidisciplinary approach. The data obtained from the assessment will be analyzed using computer-based statistical software, and the results will be reviewed by the specialists. Based on these results, the frequency, duration, and delivery method of sensory integration therapy will be determined according to the needs of the child and family.
Neurodevelopmentally focused therapy counseling based on Ayres Sensory Integration principles will be planned either face-to-face or remotely, as appropriate for the child and family. After this decision, a meeting will be held with the family to plan the child's therapy process. There will be a 6-month therapy-counseling process.
