Abstract

Date Presented 03/28/20

GI can impact participation in many daily tasks, including play, self-care, and social participation. Limited evidence exists to define specific interventions used in the treatment of GI, leaving therapists to rely on theory and tradition. This retrospective study reveals the most commonly used intervention techniques of therapists with advanced training in sensory integration in the treatment of GI in an attempt to define therapy interventions.
