Abstract

Sensory processing is a term that describes the way the nervous system receives messages from the senses and turns them into appropriate motor and behavioral responses. It affects different body systems such as tactile, auditory, visual, proprioceptive, and vestibular systems. This is performed through multiple brain circuits that achieve their functions in harmony.
Sensory processing disorder is a condition that exists when sensory signals do not get organized into appropriate responses. It has 3 main types: sensory modulation disorder (SMD), sensory-based motor disorder (SPMD), and sensory discrimination disorder (SDD).
SPD may be isolated or co-morbid with other conditions like ADHD, OCD, fragile X syndrome, ASD, and others.
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are neurodevelopmental conditions that are diagnosed based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 5th version (DSM-5). 69% to 93% of people with ASD have sensory symptoms. Sensory over-responsiveness (SOR), sensory under-responsiveness (SUR), and sensory seeking (SS) are the most common sensory symptoms that occur with ASD. SPD can be assessed by various assessment measures such as the Sensory Profile Caregiver Questionnaire (SP).
Sensory integration therapy (SIT) is a type of occupational therapy that aims to ensure that individuals with ASD participate in their normal daily activities at home, school, or in communal life and maximizing their independence.
The current systematic review unfortunately has not concluded that SIT may be more effective than other types of therapy in the treatment of SPD associated with ASD.
