An Evidence based guide to combining interventions with sensory integration in pediatric practice
Our book offers practical ideas on the combination of sensory integration theory principles with other evidence-based approaches in the evaluation and treatment of multifaceted issues in children with disabilities.
Using the ICF Model, a Clinical Reasoning Model, and featuring numerous case studies, the opening chapters focus on the evidence for combining intervention approaches with diagnoses most often encountered in clinical practice such as Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Developmental Coordination Disorder and with children under three. The second part of the book covers the delivery of services using blended intervention approaches in different settings i.e., school, hospital, mental health, in nature. The latter part of the book features existing community programs illustrating the combination of approaches in practice. Appendices include reproducible resources, a guide to assessments, and approaches.
The text will guide occupational therapists and other health professionals working with children and adolescents across a variety of settings in using clinical reasoning skills in a systematic manner that will lead to better interventions.
