Abstract
AIM : To find the association between problems in toilet skills and sensory processing disorder by finding the prevalence of problems in toilet skills in children with sensory processing disorder and the effectiveness of sensory integration therapy for the improvement of toilet skills in children with SPD. And also to compare the effectiveness of sensory integration therapy with behavior modification for developing age appropriate toileting habits in children with SPD. METHODOLOGY : A cross-sectional survey and quasi experimental pre-post test design was adopted for the study and consisted of 2 phases. In phase 1, 96 children with sensory processing disorder were selected based on the screening tool and were screened to find out the prevalence of toilet skill problems among them. In phase2 the study effectiveness of sensory integration therapy on toilet skill development was investigated on 22 children with toilet skill problems and sensory processing disorder. The base line and post test measurement were done using sensory profile, COPM and modified diet schedule. The control group underwent behavior modification therapy and experimental group in addition underwent SIT for 4 months. Both the groups also underwent conventional occupational therapy also. RESULTS : This study found out among 96 SPD children 68.75% had toilet skill problems. There were difference in sections, factors and quadrants in SP for children with and without toilet skill problems. In the phase 2 the result shows significant difference (p< 0.05) for experimental group had improvement in both sensory problems and toilet skill problems in followed by the SIT when compared to control group. CONCLUSION : The study concluded that there is association between toilet skill problems and SPD. Sensory integration therapy also has an effect in toilet skill problems for children with SPD. As toilet scheduling is an important factor in development of appropriate toilet skills, treatment in combination with behavior modification and sensory integration therapy will be a better choice for children with SPD.
