Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Change in focused attention as measured by Momentary Time Sampling from intervention one to intervention three.
Secondary outcome measures
Intensity of physical activity measured at all intervention sessions

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: SenPlay Intervention GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
SenPlay is a sensory-play based intervention that includes deep tactile pressure, vestibular and proprioceptive input as a therapeutic medium to facilitate optimal arousal through activities such as pushing, pulling, climbing, jumping, and crashing. These activities are designed to facilitate changes in the child's arousal by providing sensory input and are used at random during the 15 minute window and are facilitated and monitored to ensure the child is reaching a threshold of moderate to vigorous physical activity. All participants will wear the ActiGraph accelerometer to measure the intensity of physical activity during the SenPlay intervention. Intervention sessions will occur at three time points, one per week for three weeks. Following the SenPlay intervention, participants will engage in 10 minutes of developmentally appropriate tasks (DAT) lead by the same investigator. DAT will be videotaped and coded for off task behaviors using Momentary Time Sampling (MTS).
Group II: Free play Control GroupPlacebo Group1 Intervention
The control group will engage in spontaneous, free play with the investigator supervising only for safety within the sensorimotor gym for 15 minutes, prior to the assessment of off-task behaviors during 10 minutes of developmentally appropriate tasks (DAT). All participants will wear the ActiGraph accelerometer to measure the intensity of physical activity reached during spontaneous, free play. Participants in the control group will participate in three sessions, one per week for three weeks. Intervention sessions will occur at three time points, one per week for three weeks. Following the spontaneous play, participants will engage in 10 minutes of developmentally appropriate tasks (DAT) lead by the same investigator. DAT will be videotaped and coded for off task behaviors using Momentary Time Sampling (MTS).
