Temple University - Parents of children with autism are increasingly turning to sensory integration treatment to help their children deal with the disorder, and they’re seeing good results.坦普尔大学-家长自闭症儿童正日益转向感觉整合治疗，以帮助他们的子女处理与秩序混乱，他们看到了良好的效果。 In 2007, 71 percent of parents who pursued alternatives to traditional treatment used sensory integration methods, and 91 percent found these methods helpful.在2007年， 71 ％的家长谁追求替代传统治疗使用的感觉整合的方法，和91 ％ ，发现这些方法有帮助。

A new study from Temple University researchers, presented this month at the American Occupational Therapy Association’s 2008 conference, found that children with autistic spectrum disorders who underwent sensory integration therapy exhibited fewer autistic mannerisms compared to children who received standard treatments.一项新的研究从坦普尔大学的研究人员，介绍了本月底在美国职业治疗协会的2008年会议上，发现儿童自闭症频谱紊乱谁经历了感觉统合治疗展示少mannerisms自闭症的儿童相比，谁收到的标准治疗方法。 Such mannerisms, including repetitive hand movements or actions, making noises, jumping or having highly restricted interests, often interfere with paying attention and learning.例如mannerisms ，包括重复的手部动作或行动，使噪音，跳跃，或有高度限制的利益，往往干预重视和学习。

The children assigned to the sensory integration intervention group also reached more goals specified by their parents and therapists, said study authors Beth Pfeiffer, Ph.D., OTR/L, BCP, and Moya Kinnealey, Ph.D., OTR/L, from the Occupational Therapy Department in Temple University’s College of Health Professions.孩子们分配到感觉整合干预组也达到了更多的目标，指定由他们的父母和治疗，研究的作者说什么pfeiffer ，博士，工程机械/升，站，和莫亚kinnealey ，博士，工程机械/升，从职业治疗部在坦普尔大学的学院卫生专业。 The children made progress toward goals in the areas of sensory processing/regulation, social-emotional and functional motor tasks.孩子们取得了进展，朝着目标，在以下领域的感觉处理/规例，社会情绪和功能电机的任务。

Sensory integration is the ability of the brain to properly integrate and adapt to the onslaught of information coming in through the senses.感觉整合是有能力的大脑，妥善整合和适应的冲击，在未来的信息通过感官。 Dysfunction in this area makes it difficult for people with autism to adapt to and function like others in their environment.功能障碍在这方面使人们难以为人民与自闭症，以适应和功能的其他人一样，在他们的环境。 They may be hypersensitive to sound or touch, or unable to screen out distracting noise or clothing textures.他们可能是过敏性，以声音或触摸，或无法筛选出令人分心的噪音或衣服的质地。 Their response might be impulsive motor acts, making noises or running away.他们的反应可能是一时冲动的行为，电机，使噪音或离家出走。

Pfeiffer and Kinnealey are part of a group of researchers seeking to bring more scientific understanding to occupational therapy using a sensory integration approach. pfeiffer和kinnealey的一部分，一组研究人员寻求带来更多的科学认识到，职业治疗使用感觉整合的做法。

“It’s been heavily documented that children on the autistic spectrum have differences in the way they process sensory information and respond motorically,” Pfeiffer said. “它的大量文件证明，对儿童自闭症谱方式的不同，他们的过程中感觉信息和回应motorically ， ” pfeiffer说。 “While more families are seeking out the sensory integration approach because of its positive results, more research is needed to scientifically establish its effectiveness.” “而更多的家庭是寻求感官一体化的做法，因为它的积极成果，需要进行更多的研究，科学地确立其有效性” 。

Children receiving sensory integration therapy typically participate in sensory-based activities to enable them to better regulate their behavioral responses to sensations and situations that they find disturbing or painful.儿童接受感觉统合治疗，通常参加在感官为基础的活动，以使他们能够更好地规范其行为的反应，感觉和情况，他们找到令人不安的或痛苦的。 A child who is oversensitive to light touch may enjoy rolling and playing in a giant foam pillow, after which he might be more able to calmly explore, touch and play with other textures.儿童谁是过于轻触摸，可享有轧制和公平的一个巨大的泡沫枕头后，他可能更能够冷静地探讨，手感和发挥与其他纹理。 This in turn makes self-care such as dressing and washing and classroom activities that require touch more manageable.这反过来又使自我照顾，如敷料及洗衣机和教室活动，需要接触，更便于管理。

Interpreting the child’s behavior as intentional and controllable and not recognizing the underlying cause and hypersensitivities is common in educational and home settings, but is an approach that Kinnealey discourages as stressful for the child with autism.解释儿童的行为作为故意和可控性和不承认的根本原因和hypersensitivities是常见的是在教育和主页设置，但是一个办法， kinnealey劝阻作为压力，为儿童孤独症。
