Summary

This study was planned to investigate the effects of nutritional education given in addition to sensory integration intervention on feeding behavior, sensory processing and developmental areas in children with Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI) and Cerebral Palsy (CP). Children with CVI and CP were randomly divided into two groups. Sensory integration education was applied to both groups and additional feeding behavior education was applied to one group. The development in feeding behavior and sensory processing was analyzed before and after the intervention.

Conditions

  • Feeding Behavior
  • Sensory Integration Disorder
  • Cerebral Visual Impairment

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

feeding behavior education

Two groups will receive personalized sensory integration training, and one group will receive feeding behavior training. Both the caregiver and the child will take part in feeding behavior training. In order for the training to be successful, the therapist, child, and parent cooperation is necessary. Before this training, the children will be evaluated with the Behavioral Pediatric Feeding Assessment Scale and a behavioral training plan will be created according to the children's attitudes and behaviors during feeding. This plan will include organizing feeding times, determining the family's approach to the child's behaviors during feeding, regulating the children's feeding behavior problems with extinguishing and desensitization methods, and organizing the feeding environment, and creating a personalized training plan.

BEHAVIORAL

Sensory integration intervention

The sensory integration training given to both groups includes training that includes oral processing skills in particular, as well as training that includes tactile, vestibular, proprioception, and visual stimuli as needed. Children will be supported with sensory stimuli in order to ensure that the child focuses and remains calm. Sensory integration training will be planned by taking into account the Dunn Sensory Profile test results. In this training, different patterned fabrics, plushes, and toys with different surfaces for tactile stimulation will be provided to maintain the child's calmness and focus; swings and exercise balls for vestibular stimulation; and training to provide sensory regulation with proprioceptive approaches. In addition, within the scope of sensory integration training, stimuli will be provided in the oral region according to the children's sensory responses to the texture, taste, and content of foods.
