Sensory Assessment for Children and Youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders

University of Kansas Medical Center

It is generally accepted that children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) face varying levels of challenges processing sensory information (Ayres, 1979; Baranek & Berkson, 1994). The literature reports that persons with autism process sensory experiences differently than persons without autism (Dunn, Myles, & Orr, in press; Grandin, 1995; Short, 2001; Stehli, 1991; Williams, 1994). The purpose of this article is to present considerations for assessing sensory issues in individuals with ASD as a means of gathering information useful to families and professionals in understanding children and designing intervention strategies that support success across environments.
