What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Dunn Sensory Profile
It is a norm-referenced, parent-report questionnaire. The parent rates frequency of each item on a 5-point Likert scale from 1= always to 5= never. It reports the frequency of behavioural occurrences that are used to measure the patterns of performance indicative of difficulties experienced in sensory processing
Measured: 8 weeks
Secondary outcomes (2)
BAMBİ
The BAMBI is rated based on a parent proxy report, with a 5-point grading type scale (1 = Never/Very Rarely -5 = At Almost All Mealtimes). It was designed to capture mealtime behaviors specific to children with ASD.
Measured: 8 weeks
STEP
It is used for to identify the feeding problems of persons with ID in terms of (a) risk of aspiration, (b) food selectivity, (c) feeding skills deficits, (d) food refusal and associated behavior problems, and (e) nutrition-related behavior problems
Measured: 8 weeks
