Occupational Therapy with Sensory Integration teaches children with autism how to respond to
sensory stimulation. Many autistic children are either overwhelmed or under-stimulated by
sensory stimulation, which can result in self-stimulatory behavior, social withdrawal,
tantrums, or self-injurious behavior. Under clinical conditions, sensory integration
attempts to rearrange how the brain interprets stimulation. Children may be gradually
exposed to higher levels of sensory stimulation to accustom them to sound, touch, or other
sensory input.
