Therapy Sessions

After 72 1-hour therapy sessions for 3 hours per week, significantly more subjects, aged 58 to 107 months, receiving sensory integration therapy ( n=35) and perceptual motor training ( n=35) than those receiving no treatment ( n=33) showed improvement in their sensory integrative functioning. The same effect was found for a subgroup of children exhibiting vestibular dysfunction only. Improvement could include an increase of all test scores defining a child's particular dysfunction into the normal range with associated clinical observations indicating no problem, or a reduction in the severity of a child's dysfunction, the number of their dysfunctional systems, or both severity and dysfunctional systems. The groups did not differ in the incidence of any one of these individual types of improvement, but only in their overall improvement represented by the total of all types. Discussion focused on the type and degree of improvement therapists can expect from treatment and problems associated with evaluating outcome.
