Can sensory tests improve counseling for kids with developmental disorders?
NCT ID NCT07656961
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether using results from a sensory integration assessment can improve counseling for children aged 3-12 with neurodevelopmental problems like sensory sensitivity or coordination difficulties. Researchers will measure changes in sensory processing and daily living skills. Only 16 children will take part, and the study has not started yet.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- neurodevelopmental counseling based on Ayres Sensory Integration test results
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that personalized counseling based on sensory test results helps children with neurodevelopmental problems improve daily skills and coordination.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small study (16 children) and is not yet recruiting. It only measures test scores, not long-term outcomes, so results may not apply to all children.
