It is also important to find out which sensory experience relaxes and reduces anxiety in each patient. The nursing interventions for ASD patients could significantly reduce stress and anxiety. Sensory resistance and sensory dysfunction are very common with the ASD population and the existing of Sensory room can improve sensitivity for patients with autism. MATERIALS AND METHODS: document method – analysis of literary sources RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The purpose of this research was to identify evidence-based practice, focused over the work of nurses with children with autism spectrum disorder in Sensory rooms.
