Summary

Objective: Sleep and behavioral problems are common in infants at risk of autism. This study aims to examine the effect of Snoezelen-Based Occupational Therapy intervention on sleep and behavioral problems in infants at risk of autism. Design: Twenty-four infants (15 boys, 9 girls) at risk for autism were randomized to the intervention group (n = 12; 28.33 ± 6.52 months) and the control group (n = 9; 30.11 ± 5.20 years). The intervention group received Snoezelen-Based Occupational Therapy intervention in addition to the conventional 8-week sensory integration intervention, while the control group received only the conventional sensory integration intervention. Both groups assessed sleep and behavioral problems using the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BİSQ) and the Vineland Social-Emotional Early Childhood Scale (VSEES) pre and post eight weeks of intervention.

Snoezelen-Based Occupational Therapy Intervention Group

Snoezelen- Based Occupational Therapy Intervention Different from sensory integration interventions, Snoezelen-based interventions are environments with all sensory stimuli, such as auditory, visual, tactile, gustatory, olfactory, and vestibular stimuli, in the same environment and where therapeutic guidance and commands are not given to the individual. These interventions aim to reduce agitation, depression, and aggression in individuals and increase daily living activities, functional performance, and well-being. Psychiatric clinics, schools, rehabilitation centers, and occupational therapy clinics are some places where it is used. Some materials found in Snoezelen rooms are bubble tubes, fiber optic light cables, projectors, vibrating massagers, light tactile stimulation materials, aromatic scent emitting devices, music sets, and relaxing music and swings.
