Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Introduction:

Sensory Integration (SI) is a theory and framework conceptualized by Dr. Jean Ayres, a highly experienced occupational therapist, with its main objective as enhancing the brain's capacity to perceive and organize sensory information to produce a more normal, adaptive response; thus, to provide the foundation for mastering academic tasks (Case-Smith and O'Brien, 2010).

Objectives:

The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of ASI interventions for school-aged children with sensory modulation and sensory processing deficits.

Methodology:

A cross-clustered single-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted in 5 occupational therapy outpatient department within Hospital Authority, to assess the difference in clinical outcomes between subjects in experimental group (received ASI) and control group (on usual waitlist for treatment). Participants in experimental group (EG) would receive 16 sessions (45 minutes each) of individualized ASI. The sessions were scheduled on weekly basis and would be completed within five months once treatment was initiated. Post-assessment outcomes would be measured at this time-point. Post-assessment outcomes would also be measured for subjects in control group (CG) at the same time-point. ASI would then be initiated for participants in CG according to usual clinical scheduling.
