Abstract

Changing physiological arousal is an important goal of occupational therapy but therapists do not have a way to objectively measure how therapy affects arousal. We hypothesized that when children with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) participate in guided activities within an occupational therapy setting, informative changes in electrodermal activity (EDA) could be detected using iCalm1.
