This systematic review examines the literature published from January 2007
through May 2015 related to the effectiveness of occupational therapy
interventions using parental or teacher education and coaching with children with
challenges in sensory processing and sensory integration (SP-SI). Of more than
11,000 abstracts and 86 articles that were considered, only 4 met the criteria
and were included in this review. Studies of parental training and coaching for
children with challenges in SP-SI and comorbid autism spectrum disorder have
suggested that educational or coaching programs could result in positive outcomes
for both parents and children, often in a relatively short time period.
Recommendations include a greater focus on providing educational interventions
for parents and teachers and including specific assessment of SP-SI before
implementing interventions meant to address those issues. Specific
recommendations for future research are provided.
