The effects of dark room therapy and sensory integration therapy in an individual diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder who had prolonged toe walking
Abstract
The aim of this study was to observe the effect of Sensory Integration and Darkroom Therapy on a 3-year-old child with autism and toe walking independent of any syndrome. In footprint measurement, the distance between certain points was measured. In this study, it was found that heel contact was gained in walking phases at the end of 75 sessions made with footprint. For this reason, it was concluded that it would be beneficial to add Sensory Integration and Dark Room Therapy to the treatment protocol for these individuals.

Uzun süreli parmak ucu yürümesi olan otizm tanılı bir bireyde duyu bütünleme terapisi ve karanlık oda terapisinin etkisi
Abstract
Bu çalışmadaki amaç, Duyu Bütünleme ve Karanlık Oda Terapisi’nin, otizmli ve herhangi bir sendromdan bağımsız olarak parmak ucu yürümesi olan 3 yaşındaki bir çocuğa olan etkisini gözlemlemektir. Bu çalışmada ayak izi ölçen aparat ile yapılan ölçümlerde 75 seans sonunda yürüyüş fazlarına topuk teması kazandırıldığı tespit edildi. Bu nedenle de Duyu Bütünleme ve Karanlık Oda Terapisinin bu bireylerin tedavi protokolüne eklenmesinin faydalı olacağı sonucuna varıldı.
