Which of the following is a sensory intervention approach associated with Champagne?

• A. Mildred Ross's Five-Stage Groups
• B. Champagne's Sensory Modulation Programs
• C. Dunn's Model of Sensory Processing
• D. Ayres Sensory Integration

Answer: (B)

Champagne's Sensory Modulation Programs focus on using structured, graded sensory experiences to calibrate a child’s arousal level so they can engage in activities with appropriate regulation. This approach targets modulation of sensory input itself, aiming to keep the child within an optimal window of alertness to support learning, participation, and behavior in everyday tasks. It’s a specific intervention framework linked to Champagne and used to address dysregulation by adjusting sensory input to the child’s needs.

The other options describe influential concepts but not a named sensory modulation program. Dunn's Model of Sensory Processing lays out how people process sensory information and how those processing patterns relate to behavior, serving as a framework for understanding differences rather than a concrete modulation program. Ayres Sensory Integration provides a comprehensive, play-based method to improve sensory integration and motor praxis, focusing on long-term development of processing and coordination rather than a targeted modulation strategy. Mildred Ross's Five-Stage Groups is a group-based developmental intervention structure, not specifically about modulating sensory input.
