Abstract

Current interest in sensory integration therapy has greatly influenced clinical practice among members of the allied health professions. Assessment of the proprioceptive, vestibular, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, visual, and auditory systems is included within this theory. Music therapists who use perceptual-motor and sensory stimulation activities need to be aware of the underlying theoretical and empirical basis for these techniques. A review of the current music therapy literature reveals that references seldom include studies specific to this theory. This paper presents an initial investigation of sensory integration as a model for music therapy practice and research.
