Main research areas
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a condition in which the brain has difficulty processing incoming sensory information. Affected individuals may be overly sensitive or under-sensitive to various stimuli, such as sounds, lights, touches, tastes, or smells.
Research Areas:
Diagnostic Criteria: Research aims to develop accurate diagnostic tools and criteria for identifying SPD. Etiology: Understanding the causes of SPD, including genetic, neurological, and environmental factors. Intervention Strategies: Developing effective treatment methods and therapies, such as occupational therapy and sensory integration therapy. Long-term Effects: Investigating the long-term impacts of SPD on individuals' quality of life and social integration. Behavioral Disorders and Legal RegulationsBehavioral disorders are conditions in which an individual's behavior significantly deviates from the norm, often leading to social and legal problems. These may include aggressive behavior, impulse control disorders, and antisocial behavior.
Research Areas:
Diagnosis and Classification: Developing and refining classification systems and diagnostic criteria for behavioral disorders. Intervention Methods: Creating effective treatment and intervention methods, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, medication, and family therapy. Legal Regulations: Examining the legal status of individuals with behavioral disorders, including criminal responsibility and rehabilitation programs. Prevention: Developing programs and strategies aimed at preventing behavioral disorders, with a focus on early intervention and the role of educational institutions. Learning DisabilitiesLearning disabilities are neurobiological-based disorders that impede an individual's ability to read, write, calculate, or engage in other learning processes. Examples of these disorders include dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia.
Research Areas:
Neurobiological Foundations: Researching the neurobiological mechanisms underlying learning disabilities. Diagnostic Tools: Developing reliable diagnostic tools that can identify learning disabilities at an early stage. Pedagogical Strategies: Creating effective educational and pedagogical methods for students with learning disabilities. Technological Solutions: Exploring the role of technology in managing learning disabilities, including the development of specialized software and applications.
