ABSTRACT

[Purpose] The purpose of this study is to identify the general characteristics of single-subject studies in Korea related to sensory integration interventions for intellectual and autism spectrum disorders. It also aims to grasp the quality level of domestic studies using the quality indicators for evidence-based practice suggested by the Council for Exceptional Children(CEC). [Method] In this study, 11 single-subject studies of sensory integration interventions published in domestic journals from 2000 to 2021 were analyzed. The general characteristics of the study were identified by dividing it into publication year, participants, study design, independent, and dependent variables, and the quality of the study was analyzed based on 22 indicators in eight areas presented by the CEC. [Results] In domestic single-subject studies of sensory integration intervention for intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorders, there were more studies addressing intellectual disabilities than autism spectrum disorders, and it was found that various study designs, such as AB, ABA, and multiple-baseline designs, were used. The sensory integration intervention strategy used traditional sensory integration as the main strategy, and most studies used problem behavior and stereotyped behavior as dependent variables. As a result of the analysis according to the CEC quality indicators, there was no study that satisfied all indicators, and it was confirmed that the overall satisfaction rate was low. [Conclusion] Domestic single-subject studies related to sensory integration interventions for intellectual and autism spectrum disorders should be conducted more actively, and efforts to improve the quality of the research are needed. Based on this, sensory integration interventions should be applied to the fields of intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder intervention.
