    Drivers with ADHD, Autism or both diagnosis are at a higher risk for accidents due to right-eye visual acuity, selective attention, visual-motor integration, cognition, and motor performance. This study found that they made more errors on the driving simulator pertaining to visual scanning, speed regulation, lane maintenance, adjustment to stimuli, and total number of driving errors. This article mentions that because of this, kids with ADHD/Autism or both need a driving specialist prior to getting behind the wheel.

    Jane Case-Smith, Teresa Bryan; The Effects of Occupational Therapy With Sensory Integration Emphasis on Preschool-Age Children With Autism. Am J Occup Ther 1999;53(5):489-497. doi: 10.5014/ajot.53.5.489. This research article looked at the effects of an intervention that emphasized sensory integration. They hoped that it would increase engagement. When pretest and posttests were compared 4/5 children demonstrated reduced frequency of nonengaged behavior and 3/5 children had increased goal-directed play. They concluded that sensory integration approaches can support behavioral changes in children with autism spectrum disorder.

    Occupational Therapy Incorporating Animals for Children With Autism: A Pilot Investigation. American Journal of Occupational Therapy, May/June 2006, Vol. 60, 268-274. doi:10.5014/ajot.60.3.268 This research article looks at children with autism receiving two different types of therapy. One type is where they are receiving therapy with standard techniques and the other is where they incorporate animals into their therapy. Children received both types of therapy in the school setting. The participants showed greater use of language and significantly higher social interaction during the therapy that included animals.

    This study compared language use and social interaction in children with autism who received two forms of occupational therapy. The first form was using standard techniques and the other form incorporated animals. Twenty-two children between the ages of 7 and 13 from a public school in Virigina received both forms of therapy in a school based occupational therapy program for children with autism. The results suggest that the children had a greater use of language and social interaction in sessions incorporating animals when compared to sessions using standard occupational therapy techniques. These findings add to the growing body of evidence that the therapeutic use of animals may be an effective way to engage a wide variety of therapy clients, as well as to enhance the effectiveness of established occupational therapy techniques.

    The Short Sensory Profile was used to measure a caregiver report of sensory reactivity in a group of children with an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). Fifty-six of 78 (72%) families invited to participate returned the questionnaires and the data were complete for 44 children. These 44 children represented a stratified sample out of a total of 443 children, identified through nine different data sets maintained for children affected by ASD from a total geographical region in South East Scotland. Clinical information was collected retrospectively from contemporary pediatric community child health medical notes and also cross-sectionally from caregivers. Sensory reactivity was outside normal limits in over 70% of the children, with the highest percentage of sensitivities occurring in the auditory filtering and the underresponsiveness and seeking sensation domains. Logistic regression analysis showed no significant relationship between sensory reactivity and the child's age at presentation with autism or parental report of regression. The severity of autism was measured by the Gilliam Autism Rating Scale and related to the Short Sensory Profile (r = 0.39, p = 0.001). These findings suggest that all children affected by ASD, regardless of clinical features or age, may potentially be affected by sensory reactivities and may benefit from appropriate occupational therapy assessment and management. ASDs are relatively common among neurodevelopmental conditions and confer lifelong disabilities. As the majority of affected children will have sensory modulation difficulties, this has significant implications for pediatric occupational therapy services.

    The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of a social story intervention implemented in a home setting to decrease precursors to tantrum behavior in a 5-year-old boy with autism. Data revealed a decrease in interrupting verbalizations and tantrums when the social stories were available and an increase in these behaviors when the social stories were withdrawn.

    Effectiveness of Interventions to Improve Social Participation, Play, Leisure, and Restricted and Repetitive Behaviors in People With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review This systematic review discusses a variety of interventions to improve social participation, play, leisure, and repetitive behavior for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This review found that social skills groups, the Picture exchange Communication System, joint attention interventions, and parent-mediated strategies can improve social participation. The interventions for the areas of play, leisure and repetitive behaviors weren't found to have quite at significant results.
