Abstract
Objective : The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of sensory integrative intervention focused on proprioceptive-vestibular stimuli on adaptive response of children with sensory defensiveness. Methods : Subject of this study was a 6 years and 5 month old boy. The subject underwent a sensory integration (SI) treatment which was part of the SI treatment course administered by the Korean Sensory Integration Society, in 2011. The treatment goal and treatment plan had established based on the evaluation results. Treatment was done with 4 sessions and the adaptive responses of the subject were measured as outcome of the SI treatment. Results : During the SI treatment, the subject could participate in activities involving tactile stimulation without over-arousal. He also showed improved social interaction skills and his play was qualitatively extended. Conclusion : According to the results of this study, it was verified that sensory integrative intervention focused on proprioceptive-vestibular stimuli has positive effective on adaptive response for children with sensory defensiveness. For the future study, it is suggested to use standardized assessments in evaluation and provide information in changes of daily occupation as outcome data.
목적 : 본 연구는 고유-전정감각 중심의 감각통합중재가 감각방어를 가진 아동의 적응반응에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 연구 대상은 2011년 감각통합치료과정에 참여한 만 6세 5개월 된 남아이다. 평가결과에 따라 치료목표, 치료계획을 제시하였고, 4회기 동안의 적응반응을 기술하였다. 결과 : 치료회기 동안 아동은 과 각성 되지 않고 촉각활동에 참여할 수 있었으며, 사회적 상호작용의 질적인 측면에서 향상을 보였고, 놀이에서도 확장을 보였다. 결론 : 본 연구를 통하여 고유-전정감각 중심의 감각통합 중재가 감각방어 아동의 적응반응에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 향후 연구에서는 표준화된 평가를 통한 변화와 더불어 일상에서의 변화를 제시하는 것이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
