Abstract
  • A six-week caregiver education group program focused on sensory processing, behaviors, and strategies, as well as caregiver burnout, was targeted toward caregivers of children with sensory processing dysfunction in the North Shore Pediatric Therapy community. The goal of this project was to increase understanding of sensory processing and reduce caregiver strain through education and resource provision. When measured before group participation, low levels of self-efficacy and confidence aligned with past research. Ratings of knowledge and understanding increased from pre- to post-test across topics, indicating increased understanding on average. Results indicate potential success of future programs covering this topic, but that this brief program was not sufficient to significantly increase knowledge ratings. This study provides evidence that caregivers can benefit from group education programs to address sensory processing. For occupational therapists specifically, findings suggest the need for consistent provision of education and resources regarding sensory processing.
