Around 69-95% of children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder are known to have sensory processing abnormalities .Tackling these problems would help in better quality of life, both for the parents and the children. Sensory integration therapy, an individualized clinic based therapy have been shown to have a positive effect on those children with sensory abnormalities. Hence the investigators are doing this study , to primarily look into the efficacy and feasibility of home based sensory interventions in autistic children with sensory processing abnormalities.
