Abstract
|
|
|
Objective : The present study investigated the effects of group play activities based on Ayres Sensory Integration® (ASI) on sensory processing ability, social skill ability and self-esteem of low-income children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Methods : A total of 20 low-income participants with children with ADHD were recruited and divided into an experimental group (n=10) and a control group (n=10). Sensory processing ability was measured via the Short Sensory Profile (SSP). Social skill ability was measured via the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS). To measure self-esteem, the Rosenberg’s self- esteem scale was used. The experimental group received the ASI® group play activities for 50 minutes, twice per week for six weeks, while the control group did not receive an intervention. Level of significance of all statistical analyses was .05.
Results : Social skill ability (F=4.443, p=.05), cooperation (F=5.328, p=.035) and self-esteem (F=5.358, p=.033) differed significantly between groups after the intervention.
Conclusion : Our findings indicate that the group play activities based on ASI® are effective in improving social skill ability and self-esteem. This study provided a theoretical basis for the clam that sensory integration therapy should be applied in general elementary schools.
