Evaluation Of Sensorial Education On Receptive Language Development Of Autistic Children
Öz
This study aimed to evaluate a sensorial education program using Montessori sensorial
materials on receptive language development of 8 young children (DSM-V) with autistic
spectrum disorders (ASD). At the end of 6 months intervention period, the sensory processing
of the participants was evaluated using Sensory Processing Evaluation Form for Children with
ASD and their receptive language level was measured using Peabody Picture – Vocabulary Test.
In this study, multiple survey models between subjects were used in single subject design. The
emerging findings of the research suggest that there is a substantial improvement in auditory,
visual and tactile skills of five out of eight participants. The remainder three participants
demonstrated increase in their receptive language scores but a little improvement was observed
in their auditory, tactile and visual comprehension.
