This chapter provides an overview of sensory features and primarily discusses an evidence-based intervention, Ayres Sensory Integration®, to address their impact. Information on how to ensure best practice for occupational therapists and other practitioners using Ayres Sensory Integration® is discussed, including receiving advanced training and certification, following the manualized protocol, using a fidelity measure to assure adherence to principles and practices, and following the data-driven decision-making process. In addition to further research needed on sensory-based interventions, future areas of research in Ayres Sensory Integration® include enhancing access and utilization of Ayres Sensory Integration® services for minority children, expanding treatment to children younger than 3 years and older than 14 years, and adapting the manualized protocol to allow for its use in schools, telehealth and other service delivery options for treatment.

摘要

This chapter provides an overview of sensory features and primarily discusses an evidence-based intervention, Ayres Sensory Integration®, to address their impact. Information on how to ensure best practice for occupational therapists and other practitioners using Ayres Sensory Integration® is discussed, including receiving advanced training and certification, following the manualized protocol, using a fidelity measure to assure adherence to principles and practices, and following the data-driven decision-making process. In addition to further research needed on sensory-based interventions, future areas of research in Ayres Sensory Integration® include enhancing access and utilization of Ayres Sensory Integration® services for minority children, expanding treatment to children younger than 3 years and older than 14 years, and adapting the manualized protocol to allow for its use in schools, telehealth and other service delivery options for treatment.
