Multi-sensory integration combined with cognitive performance as a therapeutic treatment approach in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Abstract
Sensory integration is one of the most utilized therapeutic interventions in ASD. Problems effectively integrating multi-sensory input can limit, amongst others, a child’s ability to develop social relationships, cognitive motor skills, planning and sequencing novel tasks and attending to tasks. New technologies for testing and therapy like multi-axle rotational devices and cognitive motor training platforms give new opportunities in multi-sensory integration and cognitive performance, however, a lack of consensus exists regarding its evidence base.
