Patrick Dwyer; Svjetlana Vukusic; Zachary J. Williams; Clifford D. Saron; Susan M. Rivera – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Elevated "neural noise" has been advanced as an explanation of autism and autistic sensory experiences. However, functional neuroimaging measures of neural noise may be vulnerable to contamination by recording noise. This study explored variability of electrophysiological responses to tones of different intensities in 127 autistic and 79…

Hazim Aal Ismail; Joshua Baker – Young Exceptional Children, 2024
Typically developing children learn to name things without explicit teaching (Fiorile & Greer, 2007), but this is not always possible when teaching a child with a disability such as autism (Olaff et al., 2017). Labels of nonvisual and internal stimuli are generally harder to teach than visual ones due to the absence of physical reference and…

Yi-Shan Sung; Chung-Ying Lin; Shin Ying Chu; Ling-Yi Lin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Emotion dysregulation is one of the challenges that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families face. It is unclear whether emotion dysregulation plays a mediating role in the relationship between sensory processing patterns and problem behaviors among these children. This study examined the relations between emotion…

Jessemae Delarmente – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The objective of this doctoral capstone was to create and conduct a five-part online educational series for caregivers of children ages 0-5 about the impact sensory processing differences (SPD) has on occupational participation and performance, as well as how to navigate sensory-related responses (SRRs) on a daily basis. SPD and SRRs are complex…

Natalia Kucirkova; Monika Kamola – Educational Action Research, 2024
This study is a researcher-practitioner action inquiry which was used to explore children's sensory experiences with a focus on the sense of smell (olfaction). We critically considered the early childhood theories that positioned children's sensory learning within equitable, socially just early childhood approaches and connected them to an action…

Marinda Raubenheimer; Salomé Geertsema; Mia Le Roux; Marien A. Graham – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2024
Vestibular input (VI) activities are linked with skill learning, engagement, and communication. This study investigated the influence of VI activities on the responses of non-verbal children with autism spectrum disorders (CWASD) when prompted to request a reinforcer using picture exchange communication. A single subject alternating treatment…

Qianwen Liu; Zhenhong Wang – Early Education and Development, 2025
Research Findings: The present study investigated the potential mediating role of maternal parenting in the intergenerational effects of maternal childhood traumatic experiences (CTEs) on prosocial behaviors of their offspring and examined whether the offspring's sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) moderates this association using a 1-year…

Katy L. Unwin; Georgina Powell; Alice Price; Catherine R. G. Jones – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Multi-sensory environments are widely used with autistic children. However, there are no data on how autistic children choose to spend time in the room and how this relates to their sensory, behavioural and intellectual profiles. We observed the frequency and duration of visits to multi-sensory environment equipment of 41 autistic children during…

Kirby; Bahar Keceli-Kaysili; Tiffany G. Woynaroski – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Early differences in sensory responsiveness may contribute to difficulties with communication among autistic children; however, this theory has not been longitudinally assessed in infants at increased familial versus general population-level likelihood for autism (Sibs-autism vs. Sibs-NA) using a comprehensive battery of sensory responsiveness and…
