Another purpose of this study is to examine parent and teacher views on sensitivity effects at school and home settings.

In order to collect types of sensitivity and prevalence rate, “Sensory Difference Observation Form” and in order to collect views of parents and teachers, a semi structured form, “Effects of Sensory Differences: Parent and Teacher Views Form” are used. Forms were designed by researcher. It has been determined that the insensitivity of children towards movement, touch as well as auditory, visual and taste-scent stimuli is more common with a higher ratio than sensitivity. It has been observed that these properties have negative effects on their home lives as well as the routines of families and that teachers cope with them more easily in school settings.
