The study examined the impact of sensory treatment options and was designed

to determine if participants with Asperger's Syndrome would display fewer

stereotypical behaviors after implementation of a Sensory Integration

Program and exhibit increased academic function and social development.

Children with Asperger's participated in home-based Sensory Integration

activities for ten weeks. Pre and post-test Sensory Profiles were completed

by parents and teachers to measure decreases of sensory deficits. Parent

completed Sensory Profiles showed a statistically significant decrease in

sensory deficits. Results provided needed groundwork information re a

promising method of treatment for sensory deficits in children with

Asperger's Syndrome.
