The Relationship Between School Readiness and Sensory Processing Disorder in Preterm Preschooler

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The study aims investigate sensory processing disorders and school readiness in pre-school preterm children and the relationship between sensory impairment and school readiness

Detailed Description
-----------------
A convenience of preterm and term preschoolers recruiting from Gazi University, Faculty of Health Science, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. Each group contains 30 children.
