- There were 32 boys and 5 girls making it a total of 37 participants
- Attended the summer therapeutic activities program in Philadelphia, PA
- T score was greater than or equal to 60 on the Sensory Processing Measure Assessment]]> 2021-04-06 03:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/merryharrington/hcaedeoo92axkdwu/wish/1385541868 What was the study? merryharrington https://padlet.com/merryharrington/hcaedeoo92axkdwu/wish/1385544752 - 6 week set up and they would attend 3, forty-five minute sessions per week
- participants were randomly split up with 20 of them getting sensory interventions and 17 of them getting the fine motor interventions.
- This study was qualitative because when they administered the assessment, they were focusing on observing the mannerisms, behaviors, and autistic mannerisms.]]> 2021-04-06 03:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/merryharrington/hcaedeoo92axkdwu/wish/1385544752 What did they do? merryharrington https://padlet.com/merryharrington/hcaedeoo92axkdwu/wish/1385547816 - Both groups were administered the Social Responsiveness Scale which was the most telling when it came to showing which intervention was more effective.
- They used observations and then data collection to see which group was more successful after weeks of interventions and therapy sessions.
- The participants in the sensory intervention group showed significantly fewer autistic mannerisms after interventions than the kids in the fine motor group

- This study was done to support sensory interventions and hope to grow and build on this topic for the future.]]> 2021-04-06 03:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/merryharrington/hcaedeoo92axkdwu/wish/1385552033 How is this relevant to the field of Teaching or School Counseling? merryharrington https://padlet.com/merryharrington/hcaedeoo92axkdwu/wish/1385553729 - As a teacher, it is so important to be able to recognize when a student needs a break whether that is in the classroom or in the resource room (if available). 
- Showing the student what is available to them as tools that they can use to calm themselves down when they are elevated and creating a plan for when that happens is so important.
- Showing the student how they can learn to support and regulate themselves will make a huge difference in every aspect of their life. ]]> 2021-04-06 03:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/merryharrington/hcaedeoo92axkdwu/wish/1385553729
