A SENSORY INTEGRATION AND DEVELOPMENTAL SUPPORT CENTER FOR CHILDREN
Research Project *Coming SOON*
Research Opportunity
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Metropolitan Atlanta Developmental Disabilities Surveillance Program, there are many children living with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that need early intervention, support, and services in their communities, now and through development into adolescence and further into adulthood. Furthermore, the CDC reports that one in six children in the United States have one or more developmental disabilities or delays. The prevalence of ASD and developmental disabilities in children in Metropolitan Atlanta proves a need for an intervention. In response, it is important to implement a sensory integration and developmental support center to provide services to this growing and underrepresented population of children. The purpose of the intervention is to improve the sensory, cognitive, social, and motor skills of infants and children with ASD or other developmental delays who regularly use the center.
