“…The SIPT is the “ gold standard ” measure for assessing sensory discrimination and sensorimotor disorders (6, 7, 35, 81–84). The test is a battery of 17 subtests designed to assess four factors: (1) tactile processing and discrimination; (2) vestibular and proprioceptive processing; (3) praxis and bilateral integration and sequencing; and (4) perception of shape and space and visuomotor coordination.…”

The assessment of sensory perception, discrimination, integration, modulation, praxis, and other motor skills, such as posture, balance, and bilateral motor coordination, is necessary to identify the sensory and motor factors influencing the development of personal autonomy. The aim of this work is to study the assessment tools currently available for identifying different patterns of sensory processing. There are 15 tests available that have psychometric properties, primarily for the US population. Nine of them apply to children in preschool and up to grade 12. The assessment of sensory processing is a process that includes the use of standardized tests, administration of caregiver questionnaires, and clinical observations. The review of different studies using PRISMA criteria or Osteba Critical Appraisal Cards reveals that the most commonly used tools are the Sensory Integration and Praxis Test, the Sensory Processing Measure, and the Sensory Profile.

“…These include physiotherapy, Sensory Integration Occupational Therapy including Le Bon Depart, DDAT treatment, neurophysiology (primitive reflex), Davis method, sound and light therapy, fish oil supplement and audio therapy. However, there have been relatively few studies confirming the effectivity of these approaches in terms of the impact they have on the SIPT outcome measures (Kimball, 1990).…”

SS, an 8-year-old boy with dyspraxia, presented for behavioural optometry assessment. He had been diagnosed with a subtle form of dyspraxia by his paediatric occupational therapist, based on poor proprioception, delayed bilateral integration and poor visual perception. A full visual assessment was carried out. SS was given a programme of reflex inhibition exercises for 3 months. Then, a programme of optometric vision therapy (OVT) exercises was prescribed at home and in practice for a period of 8 months. SS was assessed using a battery of occupational therapy Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT) before optometric intervention, and after OVT. There were significant improvements in fusional reserves, accommodative facility and oculomotor control of pursuit and saccadic eye movements. His reading level had changed by 4 years in 11 months. The SIPT results showed improvements in the visual and motor/visual perception subtests, confirming the significant changes in visual perceptual performance. Consideration is given to treatment modalities for dyspraxia, and the studies confirming their effectivity of approach. This case study provides evidence supporting the use of OVT eye exercises in dyspraxia, ocular motility, accommodative dysfunction, learning difficulties and sports performance. The need for further research and inter-professional working is discussed.

“…The results from the new standardised tests are scored and interpreted by computer in the USA (Falrgrleve, 1989), adding cost and time to the interpretation of results. Kimball (1990) looked at using the SIPT to measure change; the results suggested that it was more effective than the SCSIT at measuring change but that the results were inconclusive and further research was required. Fairgrieve (1989) states that the Test of Motor ImpairmentHenderson Revision (Stott et ai, 1984) provides sufficiently precise information about a child's difficulty to indicate whether or not occupational therapy would be appropriate.…”

Apilot study was undertaken to consider the effect of occupational therapy on the motor proficiency of children with motor/learning difficulties. Intervention was based on Ayres' model of sensory integration. Motor proficiency was assessed before and after 10 sessions of occupational therapy. The assessment tool used was the Brulnlnks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency. The subjects were five children attending mainstream primary schools. Change was noted In all cases: four subjects Improved whilst one deteriorated. Further data are required for statistical analysis; however, the mean standard score Improved. Age appeared to be a factor In the level of Improvement attained. Recommendations for future studies are made in relation to assessment techniques and study design.
