Roley, S. S., Blanche, E. I., & Schaaf, R. C. (2001). Understanding the nature of sensory integration with diverse populations. Austin, TX: Pro-ed.
This text offers continued discussions and developments of therapeutic use of SI and its application of principals in a wide range of populations. In order to show support towards the clinical reasoning process exploration and expansion into SI is completed by researchers, theoreticians and practitioners. There are two sections in this text which are the theoretical section and the clinical section. In the theoretical section, (chapters 1-10) data and literature from OT, psychobiology, psychology, neuroscience, and child development are included in support and extension of theoretical principles of SI and their clinical application for various populations. The second section, known as the clinical section (chapters 11-20) offers qualitative and quantitative data-gathering, clinical-reasoning techniques and intervention principles that direct the influence of SI function/dysfunction in individuals with DD. This section provides additional application of SI and principles of intervention with children who may have visual impairment, CP, ASD, Fragile X syndrome and those who have not been ID'd with DD such as sensory modulation disorders, high-risk infants and children exposed to deprived environments.
