Play skills in children with autism are limited due to autism symptoms. It is important to determine the effect of sensory processing skill, which is one of these symptoms, on play skills. Therefore, we aimed to investigate of the relationship between play skills and sensory processing of children with autism. A total of 58 children with autism ( = 29) and typically developing children ( = 29) participated. We used the Sensory Profile and the Revised Knox Preschool Play Scale. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used. Children with autism demonstrated a significantly lower developmental play age and were rated lower on all dimensions of the RKPPS than typically developing children. Moreover, the results of this study showed that there are complex correlations between play skills and sensory processing in children with autism. Sensory processing and play skills have complex relationships in children with autism.
由于自闭症症状,自闭症儿童的玩耍技能有限。确定作为这些症状之一的感觉统合技能对玩耍技能的影响很重要。因此,我们旨在研究自闭症儿童的玩耍技能与感觉统合之间的关系。共有58名自闭症儿童(n = 29)和发育正常的儿童(n = 29)参与。我们使用了《感觉统合量表》和修订版的《诺克斯学前儿童玩耍量表》。采用斯皮尔曼相关系数。与发育正常的儿童相比,自闭症儿童的发育性玩耍年龄显著更低,并且在修订版《诺克斯学前儿童玩耍量表》的所有维度上得分都更低。此外,本研究结果表明,自闭症儿童的玩耍技能与感觉统合之间存在复杂的相关性。感觉统合与玩耍技能在自闭症儿童中存在复杂的关系。
