Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Structured Sensory-Based Occupational Therapy

The intervention will consist of individualized sensory-based occupational therapy activities addressing tactile, proprioceptive, vestibular, visual-motor, gross motor, feeding-related, and occupational performance needs. It will be delivered face-to-face for 40 minutes, twice weekly, over 12 weeks, and will be progressively adapted according to each child's clinical needs and development.

BEHAVIORAL

Individualized Home Activity Program

Caregivers will implement individualized home-based sensory and functional activity recommendations using materials available in the home environment. The program will continue for 12 weeks and adherence will be monitored weekly through caregiver reports and visual records.
