What is Sensory Integration
Sensory Integration develops in the course of ordinary childhood activities. Motor planning ability is a natural outcome of the process, as is the ability to adapt to incoming sensations. But for some children, sensory integration does not develop as efficiently as it should. When the process is disordered, a number of problems in learning, development, or behavior may become evident.

SIPT
The Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT) measure the sensory integration processes that underlie learning and behavior. By showing you how children organize and respond to sensory input, SIPT helps pinpoint specific organic problems associated with learning disabilities, emotional disorders, and minimal brain dysfunction. SIPT measures visual, tactile, and kinesthetic perception as well as motor performance.

How can this test help my child?
By better understanding your child's sensory needs, you can affect areas such as attion (without medication), learning and overall daily functioning.
