Effect of Snoezelen-Based Occupational Therapy Intervention on Sleep and Behavior Problems in Infant at Risk of Autism
Objective: Sleep and behavioral problems are common in infants at risk of autism. This study aims to examine the effect of Snoezelen-Based Occupational Therapy intervention on sleep and behavioral problems in infants at risk of autism. Design: Twenty-four infants (15 boys, 9 girls) at risk for autism were randomized to the intervention group (n = 12; 28.33 ± 6.52 months) and the control group (n = 9; 30.11 ± 5.20 years). The intervention group received Snoezelen-Based Occupational Therapy intervention in addition to the conventional 8-week sensory integration intervention, while the control group received only the conventional sensory integration intervention. Both groups assessed sleep and behavioral problems using the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BİSQ) and the Vineland Social-Emotional Early Childhood Scale (VSEES) pre and post eight weeks of intervention.
