“…A total of twelve male children participated in this study, including six children with SPD (age: 5.83 ± 1.17 years, height: 112.33 ± 7.76 cm, weight: 19.5 ± 4.37 kg) and six healthy controls (age: 7.1 ± 1.2 years, height: 134.2 ± 5.7 cm, weight: 24.1 ± 3.1 kg). The six SPD children have postborn acquired symptoms and were diagnosed into the category of the sensory-based motor disorder from the clinical physical therapist [9], following a previously established Children's Sensory Integration Development Rating Scale [29][30][31]. All participants were free of lower limb injuries or surgeries within half a year prior to the test.…”

Sensory processing disorder (SPD) could influence the neuromuscular response and adjustment to external sensory discrimination and lead to disruptions in daily locomotion. The objective of the current study was to compare plantar loadings and foot balance during walking, running and turning activities in SPD children in order to reveal the behavioral strategy of movement and balance control. Six SPD children and six age-match healthy controls participated in the test using a FootScan plantar pressure plate. The time-varying parameters of forces, center of pressure and foot balance index were analyzed using an open-source one-dimensional Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM1d) package. No difference was found in foot balance and plantar loadings during walking, while limited supination–pronation motion was observed in the SPD children during running and turning. The plantar forces were mainly located in the midfoot region while less toe activity was found as well. Findings should be noted that SPD children had limited supination–pronation movement for shock attenuation in the foot complex and reduced ankle pronation to assist push-off and toe gripping movements. Understanding the behavior of plantar loading strategy and balance control during walking, running and turning activities may provide clinical implications for the rehabilitation and training of daily tasks.

“…Sensory integration therapy is one of the intervention techniques, and it is centered on improving sensory and motor abilities (Baranek, 2002 as cited in Schaaf, Benevides, Kelly, & Mailloux-Maggio, 2012). This type of therapy is found to improve fine and gross motor skills as well as upper limb coordination (Hilton, 2011). Occupational therapists utilize various models of intervention when addressing motor deficits (Polatajko & Cantin, 2010).…”

One of the defining characteristics of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders is deficit in motor functioning. The necessity of intervention activities in improving the motor skills of children with ASD is greatly needed. Thus, this study explores extent of effectiveness of the gross and fine motor intervention activities that are used by twelve (12) Special Education (SPED) teachers who have a direct contact with those children with ASD in three (3) school-centers in Baguio City. A mixed method, both quantitative and qualitative, was used in gathering and interpreting the data of this research. It was found out that the extent of effectiveness on the use of gross motor intervention activities for children with ASD was effective, while the extent of effectiveness on the use of fine motor intervention activities for children with ASD was very effective.

Legal mandates established under IDEA specify a student must be assessed in all areas of suspected disability. Never is this task more overwhelming than its application to the assessment of a student suspected of a diagnosis of autism. The assessment of an individual suspected of an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis is a complex task and is dependent on the integration of information gleaned from assessments conducted by an array of professionals, each with their own distinct area of expertise. The purpose of this article is to introduce the Comprehensive Multidisciplinary Assessment Protocols-Autism Spectrum Disorder, referred to as the CMAPs, as a mechanism for organizing multidisciplinary team assessments. The CMAPs were developed in response to the challenges experienced by school-based assessment teams in developing appropriate and legally defensible assessment plans. The CMAPs provide teams a systematic, organizational, and comprehensive platform to organize the assessment of students across the spectrum of the disorder with the goal of making the task less overwhelming. Each assessment protocol considers the assessment needs of individuals with ASD using their communication skills as a preliminary starting point.
