Abstract

Objective: study the effectiveness of treatment from occupational therapy using sensory integration approach (OT / IS). Methods: We used a single case design to try to verify the impact of treatment TO/IS on selected functionality and child participation in the study. For the measurement of the objectives they have been used interviews with parents and methodology Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) and standardized test. Results: After five months of intervention and doing two sessions a week fifty-minute progress is made not only in skills such as anticipatory movements, balance and visual motor (as measured by standardized test), but also in their occupational performance at school , feeding and social relations. Conclusion: The results support the use of SI Frame of Reference, interrelating sensory processing, behavior and occupational performance, as postulated Ayres. The findings support the theoretical underpinnings of sensory integration theory: that improvement in the ability to process and integrate sensory input will influence adaptive behavior and occupational performance. Although these findings can not be generalized, they provide preliminary evidence supporting the theory and the effectiveness of this approach.
