Relationship Between Directly Observed Sensory Reactivity Differences and Classroom Behaviors of Autistic Children.
Importance: Differences in sensory reactivity are a core feature of autism; however, more remains to be learned about their role in classroom learning.

Objective: To use direct observational measures to investigate whether there is a link between sensory reactivity differences and classroom behaviors of autistic children. Design: Correlational study. Setting: Two special educational needs schools. Participants: Children with a clinical diagnosis of autism, ages 5 to 18 yr (N = 53). Outcomes and Measures: Sensory reactivity differences were assessed with the Sensory Assessment for Neurodevelopmental Differences. Classroom behaviors were measured using the Behavior Assessment for Children–Second Edition Student Observation System. Results: Total sensory reactivity differences were correlated positively with behaviors that impede learning (r =.31, p <.05) and negatively with behaviors that facilitate learning (r = −.38, p <.05). Hyporeactivity differences were correlated positively with behaviors that impede learning (r =.28, p <.05) and negatively with behaviors that facilitate learning (r = −.31, p <.05). Hyperreactivity and sensory-seeking differences were not significantly correlated with behavior. Conclusions and Relevance: Results suggest a link between sensory reactivity differences and classroom behaviors, highlighting a need for further research using observational measures in special education settings. Plain-Language Summary: Differences in hyporeactivity for children with autism may play a bigger role in classroom behavior and learning than previous literature has suggested. This has implications in occupational therapy practice for how to tailor support for children with hyporeactivity differences. The results of this study suggest that differences in hyporeactivity for children with autism may play a bigger role in classroom behavior and learning than previous literature has suggested. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
