sensory processing patterns

This study aimed to investigate the Psychopathological Explanation of Obesity in Adolescents Girls based on Sensory Processing Patterns. The research method was descriptive and used a causal-comparative design and the sample consisted of 15 to 19-year-old girls living in Tehran. Participants in this study consisted of 50 girls whose body mass index was above 95 percentiles for the obese group and 50 girls with BMI between 25 and 75 percentiles for the normal-weight group (according to the World Health Organization’s tables illustrating cut-offs and BMI domains). Adolescents/Adult Sensory Profile (Brown & Dunn, 2002) was chosen as the data collecting instrument. Results from the MANOVA and chi-square test showed that the sensory avoiding pattern was a pattern with the most frequency and higher mean among obese adolescents. The sensory sensitivity style demonstrated a marginally significant difference between the two groups. The sensory seeking style was the dominant pattern in the non-obese group. The low registration style was not dominant in any of the groups. Findings showed that by identifying sensory processing patterns, the threshold of receiving stimuli, and common way of responding, predicting of behavioral patterns, and designing suitable strategies could be attainable.

Learning disorder is affected by many communication variables and focuses on sensory processing in children; therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the mediating role of sensory processing patterns in the relationship between parental parenting styles and Learning Disorder in children. The method of research was correlation based on modeling, a type of path analysis. The study population included all children with learning disorder 7 to 10 years old in Tehran, That using Klein's method (2010), 437 children were selected by available sampling method. And the children's mothers responded to, Colorado Willcutt et al. Learning Disorder Questionnaire (2011), Dunn's Sensory Profile (1999) and Baumrind's parental parenting styles (1973). And evaluation of the model was done using the path analysis method. The findings showed that sensory processing patterns have a mediating role in the relationship between parental parenting styles and Learning Disorder in children. In general, sensory processing patterns and parental parenting styles had predictive power (R2 = 0.70) of learning disorder variable. These findings show that learning disorder is strongly influenced by parental parenting styles. And sensory processing patterns have an indirect impact on learning disorder that can provide many practical implications for therapists to improve children's learning disorder.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between executive function with sensory processing patterns in 7-12 year old children with autism, from the teacher's perspective.
This study was a correlational design. After reviewing entry criteria, fifty 7 to 12 year old children were selected using purposive sampling method. Dunn Sensory Profile (school component) was used to assess sensory processing patterns and Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Functions was used to assess executive functions. For analyzing data, descriptive statistics (frequency distribution, mean and standard deviation) and Pearson correlation was used.
The results showed that there was a significant negative correlation between the sensory processing patterns with executive functions in autistic children (P The findings of this study suggest that we can use sensory processing interventions to improve executive functions in autism disorder.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between executive function with sensory processing patterns in children with autism 7-12 years old, from the perspective of teachers.
design of this study was corelational. After reviewing of entry criteria, 50 children 7-12 years old were selected as the sample using purposive sampling method. To assess sensory processing patterns was used of Dunn sensory profile (school component) and to assess executive functions was used of behavioral rating inventory of executive functions (BRIEF). For data analysis, descriptive statistics (frequency distribution, mean and standard deviation) and Pearson correlation was used.
The results showed that a significant negative correlation between the sensory processing patterns with executive functions in autistic children in the 0/01 level.
The findings of this study suggest that we can use sensory processing interventions to improve executive functions in autism disorder.
