title: Statement--sensory integration evaluation and intervention in school-based occupational therapy.
abstract: Based on the educational team recommendations, school-based occupational therapy practitioners provide interventions to students who are eligible for special education services under IDEA and who need occupational therapy to benefit from their education program. The occupational therapist develops an intervention plan based on the student's needs and the therapist's professional knowledge base. When students demonstrate deficits in sensorimotor performance components that contribute to a significant and documented discrepancy in their skills within their educational program, the use of sensory integrative approach may be one frame of reference for intervention chosen by the occupational therapist.
