Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Sensory Processing Skills and School Functions in School-Aged Children With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: a Gender-Based Analysis(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Ceyhan, Irem; Akyurek, GokcenSensory processing skills are important for school functioning, learning and school participation. Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may need additional support in the school context. This study aims to assess sensory processing skills and school functions in children with ADHD, focusing on gender differences. We included 118 children of whom 57 had ADHD and 61 were typically developing peers. Sensory processing skills were assessed with the Sensory Integration and Praxis Test subtests (Postrotary Nystagmus, Standing Walk and Balance, Bilateral Motor Coordination), and school functioning was evaluated using the School Function Assessment. Results showed that children with ADHD had worse sensory processing skills and school function, regardless of gender (p < 0.05). In girls with ADHD, Bilateral Motor Coordination emerged as a significant predictor across some sub-parameters of school functioning (Participation: p = 0.022; task supports: p = 0.020; physical tasks: p = 0.012). In boys, balance was particularly significant predictor of physical (p = 0.008) and cognitive functioning (p = 0.008). Boys with ADHD had more difficulty than girls in cognitive/behavioral task adaptations, setup and cleaning, and eating/drinking. Recognizing gender differences among these children is essential for health professionals to deliver more effective and individualized support interventions.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Examining the Sensory Processing Skills and Occupational Performance of People With Multiple Sclerosis(Taylor & Francis inc, 2024) Aydoner, Selen; Bumin, GoncaThis study aimed to compare sensory processing skills and occupational performance between participants with multiple sclerosis and healthy controls. Eighty participants were enrolled in this study, 40 with multiple sclerosis and 40 with healthy controls. Participants were between 18 and 65 years of age and asked to complete the Adult Sensory Profile, and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. The findings of the study revealed that participants with multiple sclerosis had a lower ability to register sensory input, a higher sensory sensitivity, and avoidance, as well as lower levels of performance and satisfaction in their daily occupations, compared to the healthy controls (p < 0.05). People with multiple sclerosis often experience difficulties with sensory processing and occupational performance in daily life. More research and practice are needed on the role of sensory processing and occupational performance in daily life in people with multiple sclerosis.
