Sensory Integrative Therapy and Autism Ranking:

Ongoing Research

We have identified the following studies into sensory integrative therapy that are currently underway.  If you know of any other studies we should include please email info@researchautism.net with the details. 

• The Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Inc. is running a trial to test the efficacy of Sensory Integration Therapy (SIT), a non-invasive intervention to improve functional skills in children with ASD, in comparison to commonly applied ABA behavioral treatments, in the treatment of ASD symptoms. Clinical Trials Gov Ref: NCT02536365. For more details, please see Sensory Integration Therapy in Autism: Mechanisms and Effectiveness
• The Centre for Trials Research at Cardiff University is running a trial to find out whether SIT improves the child’s behaviour socialisation and daily functioning more than the treatment normally offered to families (usual care). ISRCTN registry ref: ISRCTN14716440. For more details please see A trial of sensory integration therapy versus usual care for sensory processing difficulties in autism spectrum disorder in children
• The University of Western Sydney is running a trial to investigate the effect of sensory integration (SI) and self-regulated learning versus an activity-based control programme in reducing behavioural problems in children with ASD that interfere with their daily livings, school, and social engagement. Clinical Trials Gov Ref: NCT02496819. For more details, please see Metacognitive Self-regulated Learning and Sensory Integrative Approaches for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders
