AB  - Sensory assessment of individuals with profound
intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD) can be extremely difficult for several
reasons, including the idiosyncratic reactions that these individuals commonly exhibit to
environmental stimuli. This case report presents a combination of behavioural and
physiological measurements aimed at providing an objective assessment of the sensory
responsiveness of a child with PIMD.
Settings/location, subjects, and interventions: The participant was presented, at his
home, with a set of stimuli commonly used during sensory interventions.
Responsiveness to these stimuli was assessed in terms of motor movements, heart rate
and electrodermal responses.
Treatment outcomes: Although the child only seemed to react to two of the presented
items, interesting connections were observed between his motor and physiological
responsiveness.
Conclusions: The methodological approach here presented appears to constitute a
useful resource for understanding and ascribing meaning to the behaviours of children
with PIMD that represent specific reactions to particular stimuli. With such a resource,
