This systematic review examines the evidence for the effectiveness of cognitive
and occupation-based interventions to improve self-regulation in children and
youth who have challenges in processing and integrating sensory information. The
Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guided the
methodology. Five studies identified through a comprehensive database search met
the inclusion criteria and were separated into categories of cognitive and
occupation-based interventions. Articles that did not specifically measure
sensory integration (SI) or processing challenges were omitted. Synthesis of the
articles suggests that self-regulation (e.g., sensory processing, emotional
regulation, executive functioning, social function) improved with cognitive and
occupation-based interventions. Because the number of studies that measured
sensory processing or SI challenges was limited, researchers are encouraged to
include these measures in future research to understand the impact of a broader range of cognitive and occupation-based interventions.
