SI/SP-T procedures utilize equipment (e.g., lycra swings, balance beams, climbing walls, and trampolines), specific devices (e.g., weighted vests, sensory brushes) and activities (e.g., placing hands in messy substances such as shaving cream, sequenced movements) hypothesized to enhance sensory integration and sensory processing. SI/SP intervention procedures include sensory protocols designed to enhance tactile, proprioceptive, and vestibular experiences. Broadly, the SI/SPD intervention approach views a plethora of disabilities such as ADHD, ASD, and disruptive behavior as being exacerbated by difficulties in modulating and integrating sensory input with a primary focus on contributions from tactile, proprioceptive, and vestibular systems which are hypothesized to contribute to core symptoms of the conditions (e.g., ASD). This review is not focused on diagnosis of SI/SPD. More recently, the approach has been reframed as “the dimensions of sensory processing” or SPD in place of SID, so the review herein describes this collective framework as sensory integration/sensory processing treatment (SI/SP-T) for ASD. 4Graduate School, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, United Statesįor more than 50 years, “Sensory Integration” has been a theoretical framework for diagnosing and treating disabilities in children under the umbrella of “sensory integration dysfunction” (SID).3School of Medicine, University of Colorado, Denver, CO, United States.2STAR Institute for Sensory Processing, Greenwood Village, Centennial, CO, United States.1Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences, Bill Wilkerson Center, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, TN, United States.Stephen Camarata 1* Lucy Jane Miller 2,3 Mark T.
