Occupational Therapy for Children with Perceptual Motor Disorders in Britain. Brief Research Report.
Peer reviewedHong, Chia Swee – International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, 1986
Among findings of a review of articles by British occupational therapists are the following: (1) major influences include Ayres, Cruickshank, Frostig, Kephart, Van Witsen and Mesker; (2) ideas underlying child assessment and treatment techniques are mainly empirically based; (3) the sensory integration approach is less well known than in the…

Perception is a process by which simple and complex information (stimuli) is experienced. We gain information about how such stimulus inputs are experienced by a child, for example, by his responses or outputs. Outputs are in the form of vocalizations and motor acts. Thus, the perceptual process is frequently called perceptual-motor. But the…

Peer reviewedDensem, Julie F.; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1989
The study compared the effectiveness of sensory integrative therapy with a parallel physical education program or a no-treatment condition with 55 5- to 10-year-old learning or perceptually motor disabled children. Results indicated no significant differences among groups except that reading progress of children already able to read was improved…

Peer reviewedSchaaf, Roseann C.; And Others – Occupational Therapy in Health Care, 1987
This case study describes a developmentally delayed 4-year-old and examines behavioral changes that occurred in occupational therapy using sensory integration (SI) techniques. The use of play observation to measure change following SI treatment is discussed, and the relevance of qualitative methodologies to collecting data on play is demonstrated.…

Peer reviewedParham, L. Diane – Occupational Therapy in Health Care, 1987
A rationale and procedures are presented for occupational therapy evaluation of the preschooler whose problems suggest dyspraxia. Two evaluative domains are examined: sensory processing (assessment of tactile, proprioceptive, vestibular, auditory and visual functions) and praxis (ideation, motor planning and execution). Procedures include…

Benyon, Sheila Doran – 1968
Seven children with basic perceptual motor problems (learning disorders) in varying severity were selected for a 6-week intensive program. All were from 6 to 8 years old and had mental ages 2 years below their chronological age. Structured and integrated areas of instruction were speech and language, perceptual-motor, gross motor, and aquatics.…
