Purpose Sensory reactivity differences are a common feature of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and related neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Sensory-based interventions (SBIs) are commonly implemented to address sensory needs, yet empirical support remains limited. This study examines the frequency of caregiver-reported SBI use and caregiver-rated helpfulness of SBIs across sensory modalities (visual, auditory, tactile, and multisensory/vestibular) among autistic children and children with other NDDs. We also explore the relationship between perceived helpfulness and child age, sex, and the presence of intellectual disability (ID). Methods Caregivers (N = 219) completed an online survey about their child’s sensory response patterns, specific SBIs, and perceived helpfulness. Results Caregivers frequently implement SBIs, though most were perceived as only sometimes helpful. Vestibular strategies (e.g., trampoline and swing exercises), tactile input (e.g., massage) and auditory reduction (e.g., noise-cancelling headphones) were most commonly used. Massage and swing exercises were also rated as among the most helpful, while brushing protocols and weighted vests, despite frequent use, had the lowest helpfulness ratings. Age and sex were not significantly related to helpfulness ratings; however, caregivers of children with ID rated brushing protocols as significantly less helpful than caregivers of children without ID. Conclusion Findings highlight the need for targeted trials to align research with real-world caregiver experiences. |
