This is an article from 2006 that gives an excellent explanation of SI theory and it's utilization within the public and private school-based OT practice area. The article, though a bit dated, shows how SI is implemented in each stage of the OT process, including clinical reasoning, evaluation, intervention/service delivery, and outcomes. I have scored the Sensory Profile multiple times during this rotation, and it certainly proves a useful tool for us as OT's to allow our students to better access the educational environment as well as what additional needs or accommodations may need to occur in the general education classroom.
