Abstract

This case study investigated the effects of sensory integration therapy on social behaviors and feeding of children with intellectual disabilities who lack sensory processing abilities. The study was conducted done from September to December, 2016, and an ABA(two sessions, nine sessions, two sessions/total 13 sessions) design was used among Single Subject Research Design. Nine sessions of sensory integration program were conducted for 50 minutes each, and Wilbarger's Protocol was employed 2-3 times per day. To understand children's basic development levels, observation evaluation of each area and social maturity scale were conducted in the early stage. To Understand the children's sensory processes ability, a Sensory Profile(SP) was developed, while the activities of daily living and task performance ability scale were evaluated using the Functional Independence Measure for children(WeeFIM) and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure(COPM), respectively. Search behavior and feeding, which are social behaviors of children, were evaluated through observation. The results showed that the sensory integration program improves social behaviors of children and enables them to eat. The children's feeding was stable from the 5th session after the intervention, and the search behaviors started to change from 3 weeks after the intervention and became stable after 7 weeks. These results indicate that the sensory integration program is effective in mediating difficulties that children with intellectual disabilities who lack sensory processing ability experience in daily living.

본 연구는 감각통합치료가 감각처리능력의 어려움을 가진 지적장애아동의 사회행동과 식사하기에 미치는 효과를 알아 본 사례연구이다. 연구기간은 2016년 9월부터 12월이며, 개별실험연구 방법 중 ABA 설계를 사용하였고 각각 2회기, 9회기, 2회기로 총 13회기 진행하였다. 감각통합프로그램은 50분씩 9회기 진행하였고 윌버거프로토콜(Wilbarger's Protocol)을 하루 2~3회씩 실시하였다. 아동의 기초적 발달 수준을 알기 위해 영역별 관찰 평가와 사회성숙도검사를 초기에 실시하였다. 아동의 감각처리능력을 알아보기 위해 감각프로파일(Sensory Profile: SP)을 실시하였으며 일상생활수행능력과 작업수행 능력정도를 일상생활평가(Functional Independence Measure for children; WeeFIM)와 캐나다작업수행측정(Canadian Occupational Performance Measure;COPM)을 통해 각각 평가하였다. 아동의 사회행동인 탐색행동과 식사하기는 관찰을 통해 측정하였다. 연구결과 감각통합프로그램이 아동의 사회행동을 증가시키고 식사하기를 가능하게 하는데 긍정적인 효과가 있었다. 아동의 식사하기는 중재 후 5회기부터 안정적으로 가능하였으며, 탐색행동은 중재 후 3주 후부터 변화를 보이기 시작해 7주 후 부터는 안정적인 탐색행동을 나타냈다. 이러한 결과는 감각처리능력에 어려움을 가진 지적장애아동이 일상생활에서 겪는 어려움을 중재하는데 감각통합프로그램이 효과적임을 말해 준다.
