The relationship between sensory processing disorders and eating problems among children with intellectual developmental deficits / Batya Engel-Yeger in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.79 N°1 (January 2016)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.79 N°1 (January 2016) . - p.17-25 Titre : The relationship between sensory processing disorders and eating problems among children with intellectual developmental deficits Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Batya Engel-Yeger ; Reem Hardal-Nasser ; Eynat Gal Année de publication : 2016 Article en page(s) : p.17-25 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : sensory processing disorder  eating  activities of daily living  intellectual developmental deficit Résumé : Introduction Sensory processing disorders are prevalent among children with intellectual developmental deficits and negatively impact their daily routines. Eating, which is a major part of daily routines, is known to be frequently impaired among children with intellectual developmental deficits. This study aimed to examine the relationships between sensory processing disorders and eating problems in children with different levels of intellectual developmental deficit. Method Participants were 91 children aged 4 to 9 years: 25 with mild intellectual developmental deficits, 32 with moderate intellectual developmental deficits and 34 with severe/profound intellectual developmental deficits. All participants were recruited from special education kindergartens/schools for children with intellectual developmental deficits. Participants' primary caregiver in school completed the screening tool of eating problems and the short sensory profile. Findings Significant correlations between sensory processing disorders and eating problems were found in each intellectual developmental deficit level (r = −.40, p ≤ .05 to r = −.57, p ≤ .001), but most correlations were found among children with moderate and severe/profound level. Energy level significantly predicted aspiration frequency; smell/taste sensitivity significantly predicted food selectivity and food refusal frequency. Conclusion Eating problems should be screened among children with intellectual developmental deficits according to intellectual developmental deficit severity and other related factors such as sensory processing disorders. Applying this approach in occupational therapy intervention may contribute to a child's adaptive behaviour and performance in daily routines.
