DESÓRDENES DE LA MODULACIÓN SENSORIAL Y DIBUJO DE LA FIGURA HUMANA SENSORY MODULATION DISORDER AND HUMAN FIGURE DRAWING

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of human �耀 gure drawing (HFD) in children with sensory modulation disorders (SMD) establishing whether there are signi�耀 cant differences relative to typically developing children, and to identify in which dimensions those differences are observed: quantitative (different number of parts) qualitative (clear disproportions, aggregates or omission) or both. For that a HFD was administered to twenty one children between the ages of 4.9 and 5.8 years of age, from public or private schools of the Autonomus city of Buenos Aires and the province of Buenos Aires, who obtained a score of two standard deviation below the norm in the Sensory Pro�耀 le Short Form (Spanish version) of McIntosh, Miller, Syu & Dunn (1999) and were compared with twenty one children of similar age and education who received a score within the typical range on this test instrument. The Sensory Pro�耀 le was used as a tool to discriminate children with and without SMD.While the HFD were analyzed using the Miller Assessment for Preschoolers (MAP, 1982, 1988) sub-test of the Humane Figure. The results obtained, con�耀 rmed the stated hypothesis. The children with SMD produced a HFD with less number of parts (p= <0.0005) and undesirable qualitative features. The relevance of this project is to indicate that HFD could be a tool for the structured observation of the child used by occupational therapist within the context of their holistic framework. And contribute to the knowledge of the impact of SMD in the occupational performance of the child.
