Leading SENSORY INTEGRATION researchers present state-OF-THE-art research and clinical insights on SENSORY INTEGRATION THEory and practice. Comprehensive information is presented on THE treatment OF SENSORY Modulation Dysfunction, high-risk infants and young children, visual deficits, cerebral palsy, autism, institutionalized children, and Fragile X Syndrome. Current information on both clinical testing and standardized testing is presented. Learn how THE latest neurological research supports and influences SI THEory and practice. This book offers practical ideas on the combination of sensory integration theory principles with other evidence-based approaches in the evaluation and treatment of multifaceted issues in children with disabilities.Using the ICF Model, a Clinical Reasoning Model, and featuring numerous case studies, the opening chapters focus on the evidence for combining intervention approaches with diagnoses most often encountered in clinical practice. The latter half of the book covers the delivery of services using blended intervention approaches in different settings, such as the school, the hospital, and in nature. Featured are existing community programs illustrating the combination of approaches in practice. Appendices include reproducible resources, a guide to assessments, and approaches.The text will guide occupational therapists and other health professionals working with children and adolescents across a variety of settings in using clinical reasoning skills in a systematic manner that will lead to better interventions. Renowned scholars and practitioners in this field explore the theory, assessment, intervention, and research related to sensory integrative dysfunction. Compared to other SI books, this is the most thorough description I have read. I highly recommend this book as a complete guide to Sensory Integration theory, assessment, and treatment to those clinicians currently involved in SI, or those who are just beginning to explore this very exciting aspect of occupational therapy. -- Beverly Franchuk, Volume 70, Number 1, Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy, February 2003 An overview of Wirral Paediatric OT Services.
