Sensory Interaction Therapy
Sensory integration therapy helps kids learn to use all their senses together, like touch, smell, taste, sight, and hearing. Some people think this therapy can help improve tough or repetitive behaviors in children.
These behaviors might be linked to difficulties with understanding sensory information.
Therapists also sometimes say that sensory integration therapy can help with other autism traits, like trouble with playing and controlling emotions.
Sensory integration therapy is usually done by occupational therapists. For example, an occupational therapist might create and do a special program of sensory activities for a child with autism.
