“…A majority of OTs in this study carried out SIT for children with sensory difficulties affecting daily functioning, and SIT is commonly used in the EIPIC centres in Singapore for the management of sensory avoidance behaviours, issues related to eating and drinking, poor gross and fine motor skills and also hygiene and grooming. 28 Since the avoidance of oral hygiene measures is frequently reported in these children, it is possible that OT-led SIT may help improve oral home care activities. Additionally, participants described using oral motor techniques to enable feeding and overcoming oral motor planning deficits in their patients.…”

Background: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have challenges in home oral care, accessing a dentist and accepting dental treatment. Occupational therapists (OTs) and speech therapists (STs) are likely to be involved earlier in managing communication, behavioural and sensory processing issues. Aim: To determine perceived issues, barriers and potential solutions to dental care for children with ASD in Singapore from the perspective of OTs and STs. Design: Semi-structured interviews and a focus group discussion involving OTs and STs who treat children with ASD were conducted. Audio recordings were transcribed and coded into themes using the NVivo 12 software. Results: Emergent themes indicated that: (i) OTs and STs have important roles in recognition of issues with toothbrushing, oral pathology and harmful oral habits; (ii) OTs and STs were able to identify reasons for difficulties in oral home care for children with ASD and offer helpful strategies; and (iii) OTs and STs can play a role in pre-dental visit preparations but lack a clear dental referral pathway.Conclusions: OTs and STs exclusively assist in the early identification and referrals of children with ASD to the dentist. Interprofessional collaboration with dentists should be further explored to aid in the provision of preventive dental advice.

“…We did not locate any systematic reviews specifically investigating instruments measuring school and play. This was not anticipated as occupational therapy is well known for practice with children – either in clinical or school settings, and practice with children is considered one of the largest practice areas (Alotaibi et al ., ; Leong, Carter & Stephenson, ; Liu & Fong, ; Shi & Howe, ). Nevertheless, we found a small number of instruments focussed on school environments that can be explored further.…”

Introduction:Using standardised instruments is one approach to support evidence-based practice. Referring to systematic reviews is an option to identify suitable instruments. However, with an abundance of systematic reviews available, therapists are challenged to identify an appropriate instrument to use. Therefore, this overview of reviews aimed to summarise relevant systematic review findings about standardised occupation-based instruments relevant for occupational therapy practice. Methods: An overview of reviews was conducted. A systematic search was performed on four databases up to March 2018. Included systematic reviews were analysed for quality using A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews (AMSTAR). Results: A total of 2187 articles were identified after removing duplicates. Ultimately, 58 systematic reviews were identified that yielded 641 instruments. From those, 45 instruments were selected for appraisal as they met the inclusion criteria of being developed mainly by occupational therapists and were recommended in the summarised findings from the systematic reviews. The instruments were classified according to the following occupation domains: (i) multidimensional, (ii) activities of daily living, (iii) productivity, (iv) social, (v) sleep/rest, (vi) sexuality and (vii) spirituality. No systematic review was identified that specifically focussed on occupations related to school/education, leisure and play. Discussion: Certain occupation domains such as activities of daily living, social and sleep/rest received high attention amongst researchers. There is a need for systematic reviews of instruments to measure education/school, play and leisure. Limited numbers of instruments were developed by occupational therapists outside the occupation domain of activities of daily living, and in areas of practice other than children and older people. Nevertheless, this overview can give some guidance for occupational therapists in selecting a suitable occupational therapy instrument for practice.

Öz. Tüm dünyada farklı disiplinlerden çok sayıda uzmanın çalıştığı otizm alanında en etkili uygulamaların eğitsel nitelikli çalışmalarla gerçekleştirilebildiği görülmektedir. Otizm spektrum bozukluğu olan bireyler için sunulan eğitim uygulamaları odaklanmış uygulamalar ve kapsamlı uygulamalar olarak sınıflandırılmaktadır. Kapsamlı uygulamalar otizmin tüm yetersizlik alanlarında geniş çaplı etkiler yaratmak amacıyla geliştirilmiş uygulamalardır. Bu çalışmada otizm alanında kullanılan kapsamlı uygulamalar arasında yer alan erken ve yoğun davranışsal eğitim (EYDE), Denver erken başlama modeli (ESDM), TEACCH, duyusal bütünleştirme terapisi (DBT), etkileşimsel oyun terapisi (Floortime/DIR), ilişki geliştirme uygulaması (RDI) ve temel tepki öğretimine (TTÖ) ilişkin açıklamalara yer verilmiştir. Kapsamlı uygulamalara ilişkin açıklamalar sırasında, uygulamalara zemin hazırlayan yaklaşımlar, uygulama ortamları, uygulama süreci ve bu süreçte kullanılan yöntemler ve uygulama sürecinde yer alan kişiler gibi bilgilere yer verilmiş; ardından, bu uygulamalara ilişkin araştırma desteği Eikeseth ve Klintwall (2014) Abstract. Despite the fact that numerous professionals in various disciplines work on autism spectrum disorder, the most remarkable progress in research related to this field has occured in educational interventions. Educational interventions for individuals with autism spectrum disorder are classified as focused intervetions and comprehensive interventions. Comprehensive interventions are developed to bring about extensive effects on core deficits defining autism spectrum disorder. In this study, certain comprehensive interventions, namely early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI), early start Denver model (ESDM), TEACCH, sensory integration therapy (SIT), floortime/developmental individual differences relationship based model (DIR), relationship development intervention (RDI) and pivotal response treatment (PRT) are explained. With the aim of explaining these interventions, information about their main features such as theoretical background, settings, implementation process, methods and professionalsare provided. Moreover, outcome studies related to these interventions in terms of their scientific merit are presented based on the review conducted by Eikeseth and Klintwall (2014).
