Objective : The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effects of Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI®) with play-centered oral defensiveness reduction activities on the oral sensitivity of a child with oral defensiveness. Methods : The subject was a three-and-a-half year-old boy with a developmental delay. The study was performed from August to September, 2018. The research design used in this study is the design for single-subject research. The experimental period was divided into three phases: three sessions for the initial baseline phase (A), 15 sessions for the treatment phase (B), and three sessions for the final baseline phase (A’). Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI®) with active oral play was conducted in the treatment phase. The Measuring Oral Sensitivity in Practice was used to test changes in the oral sensitivity level. The Korean Children's Eating Behavior Inventory and Food Checklist were used to assess the difference in functions related to oral sensitivity before and after the intervention. Results : In comparison with the baseline phase, the Measuring Oral Sensitivity in Practice and Korean Children's Eating Behavior Inventory were improved during the treatment phase, but the Food Intake checklist score was not changed after the treatment phase. Conclusion : The use of Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI®) with active oral play produced positive results and reduced the child's oral sensitivity and eating problems.

목적 : 본 연구는 능동적 구강놀이 병행한 Ayres Sensory Integration®(ASI®) 적용이 아동의 구강 민감도와 섭식행동의 문제에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 발달지연으로 진단받은 만 3세 6개월의 남자 아동을 대상으로 2018년 8월부터 2018년 9월까지 능동적 구강놀이 병행한 Ayres Sensory Integration®(ASI®)를 실시하였다. 실험설계는 단일사례연구(single-subject design) 중 ABA'설계를 사용하였고 15회기의 중재를 시행하였다. 중재기간 동안 아동의 구강민감도 변화를 측정하기 위해 임상 구강민감도 측정(Measuring Oral Sensitivity in Practice)을 실시하였다. 구강감각처리 어려움으로 섭식활동에 영향을 주는 행동은 한국형 섭취 행동 검사(Korean Children’s Eating Behavior Inventory; K-CEBI), 식품 섭취 빈도 체크리스트를 중재 전후로 실시하였다. 결과 : 능동적 구강놀이와 ASI 중재기간 동안 임상 구강민감도와 섭취행동의 문제는 감소하였고 편 식행동에는 변화가 없었다. 결론 : 능동적 구강놀이 병행한 ASI 중재는 아동의 구강민감도와 섭취행동의 문제를 감소하는데 긍 정적인 효과가 있었다.
