This article is dedicated to systematically examining the correlation between sensory processing dysfunction and executive functions in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The study analyzes how sensory processing difficulties, which affect a child’s ability to receive, interpret, and respond to environmental stimuli, are related to executive functions such as attention control, working memory, planning, problem-solving, and behavioral regulation.
Through a systematic review of existing research, the article investigates the impact of sensory and executive function impairments on academic performance, social interactions, and daily adaptive behavior.
The results indicate that understanding the relationship between sensory processing dysfunction and executive functions is essential for developing individualized therapeutic and educational strategies for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Furthermore, the study identifies directions for future research and provides practical recommendations for interventions to support developmental and cognitive outcomes.
