Discussion

Based on the results the children that played the card game for six weeks had more improvements with dealing with textures they previously disliked.This experiment doesn’t solve a major problem but it adds on to the research being made for the sensory processing disorder also it can serve as a therapeutic interventions for the children in the SPD population. This study makes advances to the field by adding to the research that is really needed in the area of SPD and ASD since ASD and SPD are disorders very closely associated. Potential problems with the study is that it wasn’t well administered since I am not experienced. Other issues were that the children had sensory processing disorder but not all had a texture issue and that wasn’t specified when recruiting the members. This study can help develop other therapeutic interventions for the population of SDP and ASD. Future experiments include using the textured playing card but with different ideas like dividing different textures into groups instead of presenting the textures in a random form to the subjects.
