Abstract

Sensory modulation approaches are being used in prison mental health services as a means of empowering clients with self-regulation tools to improve occupational performance and overall well-being. However, the argument must be made whether this is an evidence-informed intervention. The purpose of this integrative review was to examine the evidence for using sensory modulation approaches in prison mental health services, and discuss its relevance to occupational therapists. The consistency of positive findings, its safety in use, low cost, and its link with person-centered, trauma-informed, and recovery-oriented practices, suggests that sensory modulation is a promising approach in prison mental health services.
