Overview
Brief Summary
This study was conducted to clarify the effect of vestibular education for autistic children on "sensory profile" and "postrotary nystagmus". In the study, the results of the two groups were compared through the treatment of sensory integration: the once who got the education and the once who did not. For this study, 26 autistic children were included who joined the " Çatalca District Unit of Disabled the Project of No Disabilities ", who was diagnosed with autism, who was 3-10 years (older than 36 months younger than 11 years). For each child, the analysis of the sensory integration and nystagmus was applied twice; at the beginning and at the end of the research. At the beginning of the research, the children were divided into two groups randomly drawn by lots. The first group was given the education of sensory integration with vestibular education and the second group was given the education of sensory integration without vestibular education. Both groups were educated for 10 weeks, 2 days a week with 40- minute sessions.
