What have you done to research this yourself? If you don't share that with us, it could sound like you're placing an order for ready-made homework.

Best bet would be to go to your schools library website and look through EBSCO, or talk to your schools research librarian

don't know how much you already know about your topic, but a good start would be looking for articles about ASD (autism) as many have sensory disorders

JacobK, I am also amazed at that app, plus, I had no idea that you could do the site: nih.gov thing on google! I'm struggling through research on a stupid paper for my BSN right now and you have just really helped me. :D Thanks so much. I bet there's alot I don't know about google. I'm learning so much.;)

@LTC RN jc you can actually put any site into the "site: anysite.com" google search. Really helpful for searching forums that do not have a good search function.

The answer to all easily googled questions, and one of the greatest sites on the internet. A former teacher showed it to me some years back.

Also of use for research is Google Scholar, it's under the "more" menu at the top left of a google search page. It only shows articles, still in beta but works pretty well.

The advanced search is really useful: Google Advanced Scholar Search

You might try articles written about "Aspergers" which is a high-functioning type of autism. Autisms and sensory integration disorders go hand in hand. There might be some info on clinic nurses who are being trained to do a quick developmental screening for autism in infants/young children.

Research sensory disorders related to prematurity - preemie survivors often have sensory integration disorders. Something like NICU follow-up - there should be some RN out there talking about the prevalance of this in NICU graduates (former preemies). .

School RNs would be working with early childhood (3-5 year olds) as well as special needs kids K-21) in the schools.

Also do a search on "Non-Verbal Learning Disorder". .(NLDline - a great on-line website) would be a good spot to check out. NLD is not autism, but a learning disorder affecting social cues - sensory probs are prevelant here too.

Good luck!
