Abstract

|
This study reviews diagnosis, play therapy, and sensory integration therapy for a four-year-old boy who shows problems of deficient interaction, delayed language development, and inappropriate sensory integration and discusses supervision of child mental health specialists and clinical psychologists in order to examine issues accompanying diagnosis of preschooler with interaction deficiency and language development delay, significance of differential diagnosis, tasks involved in treatment, and future therapy directions. The preschooler was administered with play therapy and sensory integration therapy, and his mother, who had problems with parenting, was treated with parent education focused on improving interaction skills. After one year of treatment, the preschooler showed increased response, participation, and initiative in terms of interaction, reduced oversensitivity to physical contact, and interest in other people, and behaved cheerfully and actively overall. His mother also showed a proper increase in interaction with her preschooler. However, the preschooler was still nervous and wary in an unfamiliar environment and showed oversensitivity to auditory stimuli, delayed language development compared with his peers, and deficient interactive capabilities. Diagnosis was approached from multifaceted directions such as control disorder, language disorder, and the effect of depression of his mother at the early years of parenting and her poor parenting skills.
