Objective : The purpose of the study was to investigate effects of sensory integration therapy on self-regulation capacities of children with cerebral palsy.
Methods : Subjects of this study were four years old girl and six years old boy, living in P city. Both were diagnosed as diplegia. Research design used in this study is ABA’ design for a single-subject research. The experimental period was 12 weeks with 22 sessions of treatment. It was divided into three phase: 6 sessions for baseline phase (A), 14 sessions for treatment phase (B), 2 sessions for baseline phase (A’). There was no treatment on the baseline phases, and sensory integration therapy focused vestibular and proprioceptive stimuli was conducted on the treatment phase. At each session, subjects’ behaviors has been recorded with a Digital Camera for 10 minutes and then the occurrence frequency of problematic behavior was identified based on the operational definition of it.
Results : In comparison with the baseline phase (A), the occurrence frequency was reduced during the treatment phase for three types of problematic behavior associated with the self-regulatory capacities. The tendency of reducement was maintained during baseline phase (A’).
Conclusion : Based on the result, it was implied that sensory integration therapy has a positive effect on the self-regulation capacities in children with cerebral palsy.
