Case study examples
Case 1: “Sammy” (age 3, sensory sensitivity and frequent emotional outbursts)
1. Background
Diagnosis: Autism spectrum disorder, high support level, diagnosed with ADI-R at 30 months of age.
Sensory profile: Hypersensitivity to sound and light (covers his ears when there is noise, refuses to play under bright lights).
Behavior: Screaming and anger 4-6 times a day, difficulty following simple instructions.
2. Challenges
Sensory organization: Exaggerated response to auditory and visual stimuli.
Communication: Doesn't speak in words, uses gestures and physical attraction to ask for what he wants.
Routine: Any small change causes a behavioral breakdown.
3. Practical Interventions (Detailed Spectrum Rescue)
Reference Strategy Element
Quiet environment Create a “quiet corner” with dim lighting, soft carpet and noise-reducing headphones Creating a safe sensory environment reduces tantrums by up to 65%
Sensory preparation before the activity 5 minutes of light lavender massage before going out to play; 3 minutes of deep abdominal pressure before transitioning between activities Deep pressure exercises help regulate the sympathetic nervous system
Routine consistency Daily visual schedule (morning, noon, evening) with short hourglasses for transitions Visual schedules reduce daily chaos by up to 75% within a week
Alternate activity when stressed Rubber ball for compression, or super soft rubber toy for 2-3 minutes at the first sign of stress Replacing repetitive behavior with a structured sensory activity reduces stress quickly
4. Expected results within the first week
Reduced seizures by 50-75%.
Increased communication attempts
Great comfort while transitioning between activities thanks to visual schedules.
Case 2: “Laila” (8 years old, medium level of support, educated but socially challenged)
1. Background.
Diagnosis: ASD, moderate level of support, ADOS-2 assessment at age 6.
Skills: Reading at grade level, wide vocabulary, but plays alone at home.
Challenges: Difficulty taking turns during group play, lack of social initiative.
2. Challenges
Poor joint attention.
Social anxiety in unfamiliar situations.
Tendency to mental repetition (repeating the same topic over and over again).
3. Practical Interventions (Saving the Detailed Spectrum)
Elements strategy Scientific reference
Joint attention enhancement Floor time exercises for 15 minutes daily: Processing using an object of Lily's choice (dolls), then directing her attention to a common object Floor time increases joint attention and emotional connection
Expanding social exposure Pair play sessions with a peer-trained child, first 10 minutes then gradually increasing peer-directed play improves social interaction by 40% within a month
Anxiety management Visual “flutter” technique: A card with a “break” symbol that Laila uses when she feels stressed, allowing 3 minutes in a quiet corner Structured breaks reduce social anxiety and support self-control;
Turn a repetition involving her “special interests” (miniature trains) into a group activity: Each child adds a piece to the train track in circular order. Using restricted interests as a bridge to interaction promotes social resilience.
Apply visual rules. The “Rules of Play” board (Take Your Turn, Speak Low) illustrates 3 to 5 simple rules for each group activity;
Visual rules support self-understanding and reduce impulsive behavior;
4. Expected results during the first month
Increased social initiative (asking a classmate to play) from 0 to 3 times per day
Decreased mental repetition from 10 times to 2-3 times a day.
Greater confidence when participating in a visually-supported group activity.
General results of the detailed curriculum
: Peace of mind against fear of the future: The clarity of the daily steps gives parents the confidence to see rapid improvement.
Daily bouts of chaos were reduced by 75% within a week: Thanks to an organized sensory environment and visual schedules.
An irreplaceable investment: Bundling valuable tools into one digital package saves hundreds of dollars in separate consulting costs.
Customized solution: Each plan is built based on the child's data - their sensitivity, energy, temperament - to be your personal “key” to the system.
A challenge to break the cycle of failure: Organized digital tools that put an end to burnout and restore hope for parents.
