Abnormal White Matter Connectivity In Children With Autism Or Sensory Processing Disorder: Overlap And Divergence. (I4-2.001)
CONCLUSIONS: There is overlap of abnormal white matter connectivity between children with ASD and SPD in sensory processing pathways, but abnormal connectivity in tracts thought to subserve social and emotional processing is found only in the ASD group. These observations help clarify the roles of specific neural circuits among the widespread white matter microstructural abnormalities observed in children with ASD and SPD.Study Supported by: the Wallace Research Foundation, Gates Family Foundation, Simons Foundation, and the NIH.Disclosure: Dr. Marco has nothing to disclose.

Efficacy of a Sound‐based Intervention with a Child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder and Auditory Sensory Over‐responsivity
Abstract Sound‐based interventions (SBIs) are being used by paediatric occupational therapists to help children with autism spectrum disorders and co‐morbid sensory processing disorders. A limited yet growing body of evidence is emerging related to the efficacy of SBIs in reducing sensory processing deficits among paediatric clients with co‐morbid conditions. The current study employed an ABA single‐subject case‐controlled design, implementing The Listening Program® with a 7‐year‐old child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder who demonstrated auditory sensory over‐responsivity (SOR). The intervention co...

Differences in function among children with sensory processing disorders, physical disabilities, and typical development.
CONCLUSIONS: The PEDI can be used to (1) identify functional delays in young children with SPD, which can affect participation in age-appropriate self-care, mobility, and social skills, and (2) determine appropriate referrals for early intervention.

Barriers to seeking help among children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in Taiwan
This study explores barriers to seeking help for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Taiwan. MethodsThe caregivers (mainly mothers) of 104 children with ADHD were evaluated on an outpatient basis. The mean age of the ADHD children was 9.47 ± 1.97 years. Sociodemographic data and barriers related to seeking help were collected, including age, sex, multiple medical care seeking and parents' attitude toward the use of stimulants. The intensity of the barriers to seeking help was compared between good and/or poor compliance groups. ResultsThose who took methylphenidate (MPH) regularly are less...
