Modifying quantitative sensory testing to investigate tactile sensory function and behavioral reactivity in children with intellectual and developmental disabilities: establishing feasibility and testing sex, autism, and self-injury effects

Abstract Background Sensory reactivity differences are common across neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), however very few studies specifically examine tactile or pain responses in children with NNDs, especially those with communication challenges. The current study aimed to (a) replicate the feasib...
