According to epidemiological data, nearly one in ten children worldwide is born preterm. Owing to its high prevalence (8-9%), preterm birth constitutes a significant public health concern in Hungary as well. Based on the current literature and the presented case vignette, children born preterm are at increased risk for sensory processing difficulties and sensory integration dysfunction, commonly referred to as Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). Therefore, routine screening for sensory processing difficulties is recommended in the case of preterm-born children, and early intervention should be initiated when indicated. Ayres Sensory Integration® (ASI) therapy may be considered as an evidence-informed intervention when clinically appropriate. It is essential that professionals (e.g., pediatricians, health visitors, teachers) as well as parents are informed about the potential association between prematurity and sensory processing difficulties. Furthermore, the provision of sensory-supportive or sensory-friendly environments at home, in kindergartens, and in schools is recommended to promote optimal developmental and educational outcomes for children born preterm.
