This systematic review addresses the question "What is the efficacy of
occupational therapy using Ayres Sensory Integration((R)) (ASI) to support
functioning and participation as defined by the International Classification of
Functioning, Disability and Health for persons with challenges in processing and
integrating sensory information that interfere with everyday life participation ?"
Three randomized controlled trials, 1 retroactive analysis, and 1 single-subject
ABA design published from 2007 to 2015, all of which happened to study children
with autism, met inclusion criteria. The evidence is strong that ASI intervention
demonstrates positive outcomes for improving individually generated goals of
functioning and participation as measured by Goal Attainment Scaling for children
with autism. Moderate evidence supported improvements in impairment-level
outcomes of improvement in autistic behaviors and skills-based outcomes of
reduction in caregiver assistance with self-care activities.
Child outcomes in
play, sensory-motor, and language skills and reduced caregiver assistance with
social skills had emerging but insufficient evidence.
