简要总结
The purpose of our study is to examine the effects of music therapy on sensory processing, adaptive behavior, and social interaction in individuals with autism.
详细描述
The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial. A simple randomization method will be used to randomly assign individuals to two groups (intervention and control groups). A simple randomization method will be used where the intervention and control group papers are selected from a sealed envelope. Following the initial assessment of each participant, one of the papers labeled "intervention" or "control" will be randomly selected. This decision will determine whether the individual will be assigned to the intervention or control group. The study will be conducted at Hacettepe University. The study group and the control group will receive sensory integration training for 45 minutes per day, 2 days per week, for 6 weeks. The children in the control group will receive only sensory integration training, while the study group will receive music therapy training for 30 minutes per day, 2 days per week, for 6 weeks in addition to sensory integration training. Sociodemographic information of the children will be collected before the research and sensory processing problems of the children will be assessed with the Sensory Profile and adaptive behavioral skills will be assessed with the Adaptive Behavior Scale (ADS).

研究组 & 干预措施
sensory integration training and music therapy
The intervention group will receive both sensory integration training and music therapy. Sensory integration will include sensory modulation activities, vestibular, proprioceptive, tactile, visual and auditory sensory studies. Music therapy will be applied with drums, maracas, cymbals and orf instruments. It will consist of body rhythms, breathing exercises and rhythm studies.
干预措施: sensory integration (Behavioral)

结局指标
主要结局
sensory profile
时间窗: 1 month
Sensory Profile: This assessment tool is used to determine the sensory profiles of children between the ages of 3-10. The test consists of 125 questions and a parent/caregiver with whom the child has one-on-one communication in his/her daily life answers the test questions. The test consists of three main sections: sensory processing, modulation and behavioral and emotional responses. The subsections of each main section consist of a total of 14 sections and 125 questions. The test takes approximately 30 minutes to administer. You are asked to mark one of the options: always, often, sometimes, occasionally and never. The assessment results are found by scoring from 1 to 5, giving 5 points to "never" and 1 point to "always". In this assessment, 1 point reflects a situation where there is a disordered behavior related to the sensory profile and 5 points reflects a situation where there is normal behavior. The Turkish adaptation of this test was made.
