ABSTRACT

Objective : This study was designed to determine the effects of sensory integration group therapy with regard tothe sensory processing, peer interactions, and task performance, and whether they continue. Methods : Twelve children aged 7 to 13 years enrolled in this study for 60 minutes per session, three times a weekfor 8 weeks. Sensory integration group therapy consisted of a total of 24 activities that included sensoryprocessing, play skills, and interaction with peers. Short Sensory Profile was used to select subjects. In order tomeasure the outcome, we used the Short Sensory Profile, Penn Interactive Peer Play Scale and CanadianOccupational Performance Measure at pre, post, and follow-up evaluations. The results were analyzed by meansof repeated measures analysis, and the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up tests were compared using theWilcoxon matched-pair signed rank test. Results : After sensory integration group therapy, sensory processing, peer interaction, and task performancesignificantly improved(p<.05). In addition, we confirmed that the effects of treatment were maintained in the 4weeks follow-up test. Conclusion : Sensory integration group therapy is an effective way of mediating effects not only by improvingsensory processing skills, but also by providing imitation and training in groups for children in need of peerinteraction and linking them to daily life.
