Objective : The purpose was the effect of sensory integration therapy combined with an eye tracker on the sensory processing and visual perception of children with developmental disabilities. Methods : It was a single-subject study with a multiple baseline design between subjects, and the intervention applied sensory integration therapy combined with an eye tracker. Visual-motor speed and saccadic eye movements were assessed at each session of baseline and intervention periods. As pre- and post-evaluation, sensory profile, Korean-Developmental Test of Visual Perception and Trail Making Test were conducted. The results of each session evaluation and pre- and post-evaluation researched the effectiveness of the intervention through visual analysis and trend line analysis. Results : As a result of the evaluation for each session, the slope of the trend line for all children in visual-motor speed and saccadic eye movement increased sharply during the intervention compared to the baseline. As a result of the pre- and post-evaluation, the sensory processing of movement, body position, and visual changed from more than that of peers to a level similar to that of peers. In visual perception, all children's ability of Visual Closure increased. As a result of Trail Making Test conducted to confirm the improvement of children's visual tracking and visual-motor abilities, all children showed a decrease in performance time after the test compared to before. Conclusion : It was confirmed that sensory integration therapy combined with an eye tracker for developmental disabilities has effect on sensory processing and visual perception.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of group sensory integrative intervention on the sensory integration dysfunction children's social interaction with peer and therapist Methods : The subjects were three children aged between 3 and 5 with sensory integration disorder. Each Child participated in 15 sessions of group sensory integrative intervention. The based on the observation list of the children's social interaction behavior, the children's interactions with the peers and therapist are measured. One group pretest-posttest design was used to verify the effect of group sensory integrative intervention. The difference between before and after the sensory integration group program in the observation list of the children's social interaction behavior were tested by the Wilcoxon matched-pair signed rank test. Results : The average scores of the observation list of the children's social interaction behavior was increased after the group sensory integrative intervention. However, there is no significant difference in the social interactions between data of pre-intervention and the one of post-intervention. Conclusion : The results suggest a possibility of that the group sensory integrative intervention may affect social interactions. Future research should supplement limitations of this study regarding the short period of the experiment and there must be several evaluation standard to show norm data.

Objective : The purpose of the study is to find out how group sensory integrative (SI) intervention enhances play skill and social interaction of the children with sensory integration disorders. Method : Three children who were showing problems related in sensory integration received 12 SI intervention sessions. The Sensory Profile (SP) and The Social Maturity Scale (SMS) were accomplished by the subject's primary caregiver. Test of Playfulness (ToP) and Peer Social Interactions Rating Scale (PSIRS) were utilized to investigate the children's play skills and social interactions with their friends. Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) is applied to assess the children's play skill, social interactions with peer, and sensory processing at each session. Data was collected before- and after the intervention and analyzed by the Wilcoxon matched-pair signed rank test with SPSS/WIN version 10.0 and Microsoft Excel. Results : The average scores of ToP, PSIRS, and SMS were increased after the sensory integrative intervention. However, there is no significant difference in the play skills and social interactions between data of pre-intervention and the one of post-intervention. The score of the GAS was frequently increased in terms of the play skills and sensory processing throughout the whole sessions. Conclusions : This study reveals a possibility of that the group sensory integrative intervention may affect not only sensory processing ability, but also play skills and social interactions of children experiencing difficulties of sensory processing. Future research should supplement limitations of this study regarding insufficient number of the subject and the short period of the experiment.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a relatively common condition of childhood onset and is of significant educational and social concern in elementary school. Investigating the determinants of teachers' attitudes and behavior and their relative importance is crucial for improving teaching practices and initial teacher education for effective inclusion of ADHD children. Based on two hundred and twenty seven survey responses from elementary school teachers, having experienced in dealing with ADHD students, this paper examines the age, gender, career and training-hours effects on the knowledge, attitude, stress and inclusive education involving ADHD children. The regression analysis shows that the gender influences the level of stress and that the training hours has some impact on the knowledge about ADHD at 5% significance level. However, the number of ADHD children experienced, age, gender, career and training-hours were identified as the non-significant predictors of teaching behavior in relation to ADHD children. As a conclusion, a brief discussion concerning the critical needs of elementary school teachers is also presented.
