Abstract

Available literature discussing the application of sensory-based intervention strategies by occupational and physical therapists with children with autism spectrum disorders is reviewed. The information is grouped into three categories according to emphasis and purpose of the articles: application of sensory-based theory, effect of vestibular input on verbalizations, and single case reports. Few of the available articles provide sufficient data to argue for or against the effectiveness of sensory-based intervention with this challenging population. Further research is needed in this area using well-designed studies with appropriate sample sizes and controls.
