Abstract

Date Presented 04/04/19

Participants in this session will gain an understanding of the evidence for a variety of sensory-based interventions (SBIs) that use tactile, proprioceptive, auditory, and multisensory inputs, as well as cognitive and environmental modifications on attention, behavior, and academic performance outcomes in children from preschool through high school. Critical appraisal of the literature and application to evidence-based OT practice will be discussed.
