About this study
Official title: Effect of Multisensory Environment Room on Behavior in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
To investigate the effect of multisensory environment room on behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder age 3-5 years old. The children will be randomized into 2 groups: the experimental and the control group. The control group will be educated about the autistic and hoe program training. The intervention group will got the same educational program as the control group plus training in multisensory room environment once a week for 10 weeks. The outcome measurement was done as the before intervention, at the 5th and 10th week.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Training in the multisensory room environmentOther
The children will start with the swing follow with the scheduled activities and tabletop activity. The session will end in the relaxation room such as bubble tube, fiberoptic cascade, fiberoptic carpet and aurora projector bundle while the therapist has the interactive communication with children
Home programOther
