Description
Summary:Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are life-long neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by impairment in reciprocal social interactions, impairment in verbal and non-verbal communication skills, and restricted repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behaviour, interests and activities.Children with ASD normally shows the sensory impairment and struggles to process sensory data.Short Sensory Profile (SSP) is an assessment tool which is widely used to identify whether the autism children have exhibited thesensory disorder. There are sevenparts of the questionnaire which are tactile sensitivity, taste/ smell sensitivity, movement sensitivity, under responsive/seeks sensation, auditory filtering, low energy/ weak and visual auditory sensitivity.The problem with the current system is that the assessment is being done manuallywhereby itrequires the therapist to spend more time and effort to get the results. Therefore, by providing a web-based SSP assessment system, it willease thetherapist to automate the manual process and receive the output easily. In addition, the profile of the patient can be stored digitally and can be referred for future reference of developing and revisit the therapy plan.
