简要总结
The aim of this study is to examine the sensory and functional effects of sensory integration therapy in children with dyslexia according to the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO).
35 participant (17 intervention, 18 control, aged 8.7;8.5 years) diagnosed with dyslexia were included in the study. In the special education and rehabilitation centers, where they were followed, both groups received special individual training sessions twice a week for eight weeks, and in addition to the intervention group, sensory integration therapy was applied once a week for eight weeks (45 minutes therapy, 15 minutes family briefing - 60 minutes in total). Sensory Profile Test was used for sensory processing evaluation and SCOPE (The Short Child Occupational Profile) for occupational performance analysis. Intervention results and intergroup scores were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Paired Two Sample Test and the Mann Whitney-U test.
详细描述
This study aims to examine the effect of sensory integration therapy on sensory modulation and daily functional performance in children with dyslexia, according to the occupational therapy model MOHO.
The study was carried out in Biruni University Sensory Integration Unit on 35 participants ( intervention group:17, aged 8,7±0,85 years; control group:18, aged 8,5±1,1 years) with dyslexia.
According to the results of the analysis made in the R program, it was calculated that the sample volume should be 35 at 80% Power.
The investigators talked about the study with a special education and rehabilitation center. They will briefly ask the families of children with dyslexia who meet the inclusion criteria, during their routine education/therapy sessions, whether they might be interested in taking part in the study or not. Following this, the informed consent form was signed by the parents who accepted and were willing to volunteer to take part in the study, since the individuals participating in the study were under the age of 18.
Children between the ages of 6 and 10 years who were diagnosed with dyslexia by a psychiatrist according to DSM-V criteria were included in the study. Children with any secondary diagnosis were excluded from the study. 40 participants were randomly divided into 20 control and 20 intervention groups using a random number table.

The Sensory Profile Test
时间窗: 2 weeks
The Sensory Profile Test is an assessment tool for sensory modulation developed by Winnie Dunn and it is used to determine the types of sensory response during daily activities and which sensory systems are most affected. Functional performance is a valid and reliable assessment tool for measuring sensory processing skills. In the scale, there are 125 questions asked to parents, divided into three parts as sensory processing, modulation, and behavioral-emotional responses. It is evaluated according to the Likert scale (1 = Always, 2 = Frequently, 3 = Sometimes, 4 = Rarely, 5 = Never) with 9 factor scores consisting of these parameters. Typical performance, probably difference and definite difference score ranges are determined for each parameter. Total score for each parameter; There is an improvement from the absolute difference score range to the typical performance score range.
The Short Child Occupational Profile
时间窗: 2 weeks
The SCOPE is an assessment tool to evaluate children's activity participation within the framework of MOHO. This questionnaire consists 25 questions (4 questions from each performance area of MOHO and 5 questions for the environment) and it is scored 4-point likert scale. The higher scores mean better performance. The SCOPE is a scale with proven validity and reliability, in which activities, roles and tasks are evaluated comprehensively, the child's skills and environmental opportunities are examined.
