Medical care for children with ASD can be adversely affected by the highly stimulating environment of the ED. In this study, we gained insights from stakehol...

      ab: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have more frequent use of healthcare services, including visits to the emergency department (ED). Medical care for children with ASD can be adversely affected by the highly stimulating environment of the ED. In this study, we gained insights from stakeholders with lived experience (parents of children with ASD, children with ASD, and ED healthcare providers) to create and implement a sensory equipment kit. The kit was evaluated and iteratively improved based on observations of children using the sensory equipment, satisfaction surveys from their parents, and interviews with healthcare providers in the ED. Findings from this study can be used to guide other EDs in creating their own ASD sensory kit.
