Overview
Tactile system is important for human emotional stability, for good motor planning, fine motor skills, mouth motor, and also for good social relationships, the ability of learning, discovering and feeling good in your own body. The article is about tactile system of children with oncological disease which have undergone the oncological treatment. Does the treatment have some side effect on tactile system? Research includes 30 respondents divided into two groups. The focus group and the control group. The focus group includes children with oncological disease which have undergone the oncological treatment and the control group includes healthy children without any physical or psychical diseases. The aim of the research was to find out whether the children with oncological disease have some problems with their tactile system. The condition of tactile system was detected by short version of questionnaire “Short Sensory Profile “, written by Winnie Dunn (1999). This questionnaire was filled out by parents of 30 children. The results of the questionnaire show that children with oncological disease which have undergone the oncological treatment don´t have some significant deviation in their tactile system, because in two of three categories were their answers in the part of physiological response. In the third category were their answers in part of unequivocal deviation. So we should offer them so many tactile stimulation so it´s possible.
