Date Presented 04/13/21 Sensory processing challenges are measured by caregiver report and clinician observation and affect many people with autism spectrum disorder and their caregivers. It is unclear how caregiver stress influences the correlation between scores on caregiver report and observational measures. The present analysis explores correlations between two formats of tools to assess sensory processing and indicates that caregiver stress moderates the association between sensory-seeking scores on the measures.

Date Presented 03/28/20 This study examined attentional inflexibility for children at elevated likelihood (EL) for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through use of eye tracking. The results indicate that the EL-ASD group had significantly fewer attention shifts from an area of interest to the rest of the screen. While we only assessed a static activity, we believe attentional inflexibilities are also present during occupational engagement, which has implications for OT practice. OT strategies to address this will also be discussed.

Date Presented 04/06/19 This research explores how an eight-day CIMT camp improves postural symmetry in children with cerebral palsy. A pressure mapping system was used while participants engaged in functional static and dynamic tasks to assess how improvements in postural symmetry related to functional task performance. Improvements were found in both static sitting and standing tasks. The uses and feasibility of pressure mapping systems within clinical applications will also be explored.
