First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two therapies for children aged 4-8 with monochannel sensory processing disorder, where the brain relies on one sense at a time. One group will do exercises in a therapy pool, while the other uses a sensory room. Researchers will measure changes in sensory integration and motor skills to see if water-based therapy offers extra benefits.
