Importance of Research-based • Sensory Integration Therapy Interventions • Based on theory developed by Jean Ayres (1972) • Recapitulationist theory • Originally used with children with learning disabilities • Not promoted as a substitute to academic intervention, rather to integrate sensory perception in CNS and get individual ready for learning • Theory correctly notes the role of cortex in incorporating sensory information but no reliable evidence that integration of sensory information is necessary for higher level functioning (Smith, et al., Ch 20 2005) Hyatt, Filler, & Krasch; TASH 2009 10
Importance of Research-based Interventions • Sensory Integration Therapy (continued) • Practices thought to impact vestibular, proprioceptive, and tactile systems • Traditional practice included swinging, scooter boards, smooshing • Current practice may include brushing, deep massage, and weighted vests • Treatment often costly and may last more than 1 year Hyatt, Filler, & Krasch; TASH 2009 11

• Sensory Integration Therapy<br />
Interventions<br />
• Based on theory developed by Jean Ayres (1972)<br />

• Originally used with children with learning disabilities<br />
• Not promoted as a substitute to academic intervention, rather<br />
to integrate sensory perception in CNS and get individual<br />

• Theory correctly notes the role of cortex in incorporating<br />
sensory information but no reliable evidence that integration<br />
of sensory information is necessary for higher level<br />
functioning (Smith, et al., Ch 20 2005)<br />
