Article Synopsis
- The study explored the sensory profiles of three groups of children (those with visual impairment, typical development, and autism spectrum disorder) aged 3 to 12 years.
- Researchers aimed to determine if the sensory profile of visually impaired children could predict behaviors associated with autism.
- Results showed that children with visual impairment are at a higher risk of displaying ASD signs, highlighting the importance of assessing sensory profiles in this population for the first time.
