Product Description:

Sensory over-sensitivities are commonly reported in individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), significantly impacting their functioning in social settings. The current study examined the auditory over-sensitivity of a 13 year-old male diagnosed with ASD to the sound of Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) to identify the physiological responses during assssment and treatment of his over-sensitivity with a multiple treatment reversal design. Results indicated significant decreases in both problem behavior and corresponding GSR with treatment implementation.
