Effectiveness of sensory integration interventions in children with autism spectrum disorders : a pilot study . The purpose of this pilot study was to establish a model for randomized controlled trial research , identify appropriate outcome measures , and address the effectiveness of sensory integration ( SI ) interventions in children with autism spectrum disorders ( ASD ) . Children ages 6-12 with ASD were randomly assigned to a fine motor or SI treatment group . Pretests and posttests measured social responsiveness , sensory processing , functional motor skills , and social-emotional factors . Results identified significant positive changes in Goal Attainment Scaling scores for both groups ; more significant changes occurred in the SI group , and a significant decrease in autistic mannerisms occurred in the SI group . No other results were significant . The study discusses considerations for designing future outcome studies for children with ASD .
