| Abstract | This study was designed to build upon parental perceptions to formulate a grounded theory of the factors that influence the play of children with tactile defensiveness (TD). Semistructured interviews were conducted with four parents of children who were receiving occupational therapy for TD. Results revealed six major factors that the parents perceived to influence their children's play: the child's qualities; the parents' and siblings' qualities; the extended family members' qualities; the physical, spatiotemporal, and social environments; the community's understanding of the child's condition; and the services that the child receives. -- The formulated theory showed that the qualities of the parents, siblings, and the child influence each other and influence the child's play; the relationships among these factors appear to be reciprocal. The other factors influence the family and/or the child and consequently the child's play. The relationships among those factors and the child and the family appear to be unidirectional, i.e., from environment to the child and family. |
