Związek między poziomem rozwoju integracji sensorycznej a przystosowaniem społecznym czniów z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną
Link Between the Level of Development of Sensor Integration and Public Adapting Pupils With Intellectual Disability

Summary/Abstract: In this article an attempt was made to determine a relationship between the level of sensory integration processes and a social adaptation of students with mild intellectual disabilities attending first grade in special education and public schools. The study involved 42 children (21 students of each type of school) diagnosed with mild intellectual disability (with the exception of children with disturbances of genetic program) who started realization of compulsory education. Assessment of social adjustment was based on the ‘PAC1’ by H.C. Gunzburg (developed by T. Witkowski 1988) and ‘The CBI questionnaire’ by E. Schaefer and M. Aaronson (Rembowski 1972), while the level of development of sensory integration processes was assessed on the basis of ‘Sensorimotor Child Development Questionnaire’ (developed by Z. Przyrowski 1995), ‘Selected Trials of Clinical Observation’(developed by Z. Przyrowski 2001, 2002) and selected ‘Southern California Sensory Integration Tests’ – battery SCSIT by J. Ayres (2002a). The results were subjected to factor analysis. Correlations that indicated the relationships between the level of development of sensory integration processes and the level of social adaptation of the students from both types of schools were found.
