Sensory Integration Therapy and Autism
Sensory processing dysfunction (over and/or under-sensitivity to light, sound, smell, taste, or touch) has long been described as a an autistic trait. In 2013, with the DSM-5 (the newest version of the diagnostic manual), sensory issues became an official part of the diagnosis, described as: "Hyper- or hyporeactivity to sensory input or unusual interests in sensory aspects of the environment (e.g., apparent indifference to pain/temperature, adverse response to specific sounds or textures, excessive smelling or touching of objects, visual fascination with lights or movement)."1
Sensory dysfunction can be disabling because it interferes with so many ordinary activities of daily life. A relatively new technique, sensory integration therapy, was developed to help autistic and allistic, non-autistic, people to lower their reactivity and improve their ability to participate in a wide range of activities.2

What is occupational therapy (OT)?
Occupational therapists work to promote, maintain, and develop the skills needed by students to be functional in a school setting and beyond. For example:
• self-care (e.g. dressing, eating a meal, managing toileting needs and managing personal hygiene)
• productivity (e.g. emotional regulation, levels of alertness, participation, hand writing and organisational skills)
• leisure (e.g. socialising with friends, belonging to a group, participating in hobbies/play and motor skills for PE).
Every child will have a unique set of sensory needs and these needs will alter depending on mood, environment and therapeutic intervention.
For autistic children, an occupational therapist works to develop skills for handwriting, fine motor skills and daily living skills. However, the most essential role is also to assess and target the child’s sensory processing differences. This is beneficial to remove barriers to learning and help the students become calmer and more focused.
