Summary

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.

Sensory Integration Therapy+Special Education

Sensory integration is a theory first put forward by Ayres in 1972. It is a neurological process that organizes sensory stimuli from our body and our environment for use in the daily life. When the sensory integrity organization of individuals is provided, it is possible to use their body effectively against the environment. Sensory integration therapy, which is defined as a physiologically based process by Ayres and Dunn, also provides changes in individuals' occupations.
