Kranowitz (2006) explains that a child suffering from SID can either be oversensitive, under…
Sensory integration therapy improves the daily function of autistic children with sensory processing disorders. For most parents, the goal of rearing a child is for them to become self-sufficient. This goal is even harder to attain when the child is dealing with sensory processing disorder. In an article by Alison Wheeland, she writes about a child that is in occupational therapy because of the difficulties he faces during bathing, dressing, eating and participating in social interactions with his family (Wheeland, 2013). Sensory integration therapy has been shown to enhance the daily function for autistic children. With lesson plans that are disguised as play patients are able to overcome agitation to their daily routine. Wheeland highlights…

The use of Sensory Integration techniques, as an effective form of treatment, has been a controversial topic in Occupational Therapy research.

• Identify a ‘safe place’ and provide quite time (time out) that your child can go to when they are feeling anxious. • Help your child to understand social rules.

These interactions are not only crucial to developing sensory skills, but also to building a healthy parent-infant relationship.…
