Newby, M. J., Lane, S. J., Haracz, K., Tona, J., Palazzi, K., & Lambkin, D. (2024). Sensory processing in children with Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome. Australian Occupational Therapy Journal, 111. https://doi.org/10.1111/1440-1630.12935
Conclusion:
  • Children with PANS experience significant sensory reactivity differences during exacerbation and remission across multiple sensory domains, with a decline in performance during exacerbation.
  • Where occupational performance challenges exist, occupational therapists should consider administering sensory assessments so that effective intervention plans can be developed to address the unique sensory reactivity needs of children with PANS.
