Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial. A simple randomization method will be used to randomly assign individuals to two groups (intervention and control groups). A simple randomization method will be used where the intervention and control group papers are selected from a sealed envelope. Following the initial assessment of each participant, one of the papers labeled "intervention" or "control" will be randomly selected. This decision will determine whether the individual will be assigned to the intervention or control group. The study will be conducted at Hacettepe University. The study group and the control group will receive sensory integration training for 45 minutes per day, 2 days per week, for 6 weeks. The children in the control group will receive only sensory integration training, while the study group will receive music therapy training for 30 minutes per day, 2 days per week, for 6 weeks in addition to sensory integration training. Sociodemographic information of the children will be collected before the research and sensory processing problems of the children will be assessed with the Sensory Profile and adaptive behavioral skills will be assessed with the Adaptive Behavior Scale (ADS).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

sensory integration training and music therapy

The intervention group will receive both sensory integration training and music therapy. Sensory integration will include sensory modulation activities, vestibular, proprioceptive, tactile, visual and auditory sensory studies. Music therapy will be applied with drums, maracas, cymbals and orf instruments. It will consist of body rhythms, breathing exercises and rhythm studies.
