Assessment method [1]
0
0
Caregiver report instrument designed to characterize sensory features in children ages 2-12 years with ASD. This is a 105-item questionnaire, the scoring is based on the first 97: scored on a 5 point scale from 1 (almost never) to 5 (almost always). The remaining items are qualitative and provide context. Total possible range of scores is 97-485, higher scores indicate greater intensity of sensory behaviors.

Summary
Brief summary
The goal is to expand a parent-mediated intervention for feeding challenges in children with autism with an Australian cohort, building on recent research and current successful models already being used. A parent-mediated intervention would primarily occur in the home environment, working with the parent to establish goals and implement the intervention based on their child's specific needs.
