“…28,34 It is a recommended tool to conceptualise sensory integration treatments and to strengthen the reliability of the intended outcomes for research. 56,57 However, both studies omitted adjustments for possible confounders, which decreases their generalisability. 28,34 The studies indicate that screening and follow-up for sensory processing disorders in preterm-born children should continue after infancy at least up to school age.…”

Aim Preterm birth poses concerns in daily functioning and behaviour in childhood, possibly connected to sensory processing disorder. This review aimed to systematically identify assessments, incidence and nature of sensory processing disorder in preterm‐born infants and children. Methods We searched literature through CINAHL‐EBSCOhost, Cochrane, Ovid/PsychINFO, PubMed/Medline, Scopus and Google Scholar, published until November 2018. We included electronically available, peer‐reviewed studies of preterm‐born children that applied standardised sensory processing assessments. We excluded studies of preterm‐born children with major neurodevelopmental impairments. Results We identified 27 studies of premature children, aged from birth to 9 years 7 months. The assessments represented three versions of Sensory Profile questionnaires and three clinical tests, Test of Sensory Functions in Infants, the Miller Assessment for Preschoolers, and the Sensory Integration and Praxis Test. The studies revealed wide variation of atypical sensory processing: 28%‐87% in sensory modulation, 9%‐70% in somatosensory processing and 20%‐70% in sensory‐based motor processing. Conclusion Preterm‐born children exhibited elevated risk for sensory processing disorder from infancy into school age. Routine screening of sensory processing, intervention intervals and parental consultations should be considered in ameliorating sensory processing and neurocognitive development. Moreover, a larger body of intervention studies is needed.

“…The intervention takes place within a context of play, emphasizes active involvement of the child, involves a collaborative relationship between therapist and child, and focuses on participation‐oriented outcomes that are collected at regular intervals throughout the duration of the intervention program, making it possible to examine the child's response to intervention and to allow for adjustments to the intervention plan. Characteristics of the ASI intervention approaches have been delineated in textbooks as a guide to pediatric occupational therapy practice from 1972 to the present [Ayres, , ; Ayres & Robbins, ; Bundy, Lane, & Murray, ; Case‐Smith & O'Brien, ; Kramer & Hinojosa, ; Lane & Bundy, ; Schaaf & Mailloux, ] and described in peer‐reviewed literature [May‐Benson et al, ; Parham et al, ; Schaaf, Benevides, Kelly, & Mailloux‐Maggio, ; Schaaf, Hunt, & Benevides, ]. Sensory‐based interventions stand in contrast to ASI in that their application often contradicts many of the core principles of ASI.…”

Sensory integration is one of the most highly utilized interventions in autism, however, a lack of consensus exists regarding its evidence base. An increasing number of studies are investigating the effectiveness of this approach. This study used the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) Standards for Evidence‐based Practices in Special Education to evaluate the effectiveness research from 2006 to 2017 on Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) intervention for children with autism. A systematic review was conducted in three stages. Stage 1 involved an extensive database search for relevant studies using search terms related to sensory integration and autism, interventions suggesting a sensory integration approach, and high‐quality study designs. Searches yielded 19 studies that were evaluated in Stage 2. Six of these met inclusion criteria of being peer‐reviewed, written in English, description of intervention this is consistent with ASI intervention, and comparison group design or single subject method employed. Prior to analysis using CEC standards, three articles were excluded because intervention details were not consistent with the core principles of ASI, or because of major methodological flaws. In Stage 3, the remaining three studies were rated using the CEC quality indicators and standards for an evidence‐based practice. Two randomized controlled trials respectively met 100% and 85% of the CEC criteria items. One additional study met more than 50% of the criteria. Based on CEC criteria, ASI can be considered an evidence‐based practice for children with autism ages 4–12 years old. Autism Research 2019, 12: 6–19. © 2018 The Authors. Autism Research published by International Society for Autism Research and Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Lay Summary Ayres Sensory Integration intervention is one of the most frequently requested and highly utilized interventions in autism. This intervention has specific requirements for therapist qualifications and the process of therapy. This systematic review of studies providing Ayres Sensory Integration therapy to children with autism indicates that it is an evidence‐based practice according to the criteria of the Council for Exceptional Children.

“…The intervention occurred 3 times per week for 10 wk (30 sessions in total) in an outpatient hospital setting in a large gym area equipped with the necessary equipment and other environmental needs. The intervention followed a manualized protocol of occupational therapy using ASI for autism (Schaaf et al, 2014;Schaaf & Mailloux, 2015).…”

“…To address the need for greater outcome measurement in occupational therapy, Schaaf and colleagues (Schaaf, 2015;Schaaf & Mailloux, 2015) developed the Data-Driven Decision Making (DDDM) process. One unique feature of DDDM is that it emphasizes data use as standard practice in occupational therapy.…”

Health care and educational legislation and policy require that clinicians demonstrate, using measurement and report of outcomes, accountability for services rendered. Clinical algorithms have been developed and are used by various health care professionals to assist with hypothesis generation and systematic clinical reasoning; however, they do not explicitly guide measurement of outcomes as part of the reasoning process. Schaaf and colleagues developed the Data-Driven Decision Making (DDDM) process to address the greater need for outcome measurement, systematically support decision making, target intervention more precisely, and measure and document outcomes. This article describes the application of the DDDM process with a child with ASD who received occupational therapy using Ayres Sensory Integration(®).
