This study developed and validated an oro-motor/sensory training module for addressing feeding challenges in preschool-aged children with autism spectrum disorder. The module was validated by experienced speech language pathologists and occupational therapists, and received positive feedback, indicating its potential usefulness for professionals in the field.
Purpose: To develop and validate an oro-motor/sensory training module for addressing feeding challenges in preschool-aged children with autism spectrum disorder. Method: The present qualitative study was carried out in three phases: conceptualization, development, and validation of the oro-motor sensory training module. A total of 30 participants (15 speech language pathologists [SLPs] and 15 occupational therapists) treating children with autism spectrum disorders with a minimum of 5 years of experience validated the developed module. Descriptive and inferential statistics were done to see the reliability of the validation. Results: The overall rating of both groups of validators showed excellent reliability. Positive feedback was obtained for the module from the validators. Conclusion: The module can be a resource for SLPs and other professionals.
