Abstract :The aim of this study was to observe the effect of Sensory Integration and Darkroom Therapy on a 3-year-old child with autism and toe walking independent of any syndrome. In footprint measurement, the distance between certain points was measured. In this study, it was found that heel contact was gained in walking phases at the end of 75 sessions made with footprint. For this reason, it was concluded that it would be beneficial to add Sensory Integration and Dark Room Therapy to the treatment protocol for these individuals.Keywords : Otizm, Karanlık oda terapisi, Duyu bütünleme, Parmak ucu yürüme, Ayak izi
