| Summary: | Introduction. The use of therapeutic games, modern technologies and an interdisciplinary approach constitutes a promising direction that has the potential to enhance the efficacy of therapy and facilitate the successful integration of children with sensory integration disorders (SID) into the social environment.
Aim. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic games in the rehabilitation of children with SID and to identify their impact on the development of psychomotor and sociocognitive skills. The use of therapeutic games emerges as a promising approach with the potential to significantly enhance the quality of life for children with SID, thereby facilitating their successful social and educational integration.
Materials and methods. The psychomotor skills of the participants were assessed using standardised testing methods, including the Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Competence Test (BOT-2) and the Peabody Fine Motor Scale (PDMS-2). The assessment of sociocognitive skills was conducted using standardised methods and observations, such as the Adaptive Behavior Assessment Scale (ABAS-3) and the Conners Attention and Academic Rating Survey (CAARS).
Results. The diagnosis of sensory integration disorders is a complex process that involves taking a medical history, observing the child’s behavior in various situations, and administering standardized tests. Results of the Bruininks-Ausseret Test (BOT-2) showed significant improvement in coordination and fine motor skills in 26 (86.67%) participants after the intervention. According to the The Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS), 21 (70%) children demonstrated improvement in social interaction after the intervention. Reduced anxiety and improved mood were recorded in 18 (60%) participants using the Conners Attention and Academic Rating Survey (CAARS).
Conclusions. 1. Effectiveness of therapeutic games. 2. Confirmation of the importance of an individualized approach. 3. The significance of an interdisciplinary approach. |
