Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Dr. Anna Jean Ayres (1920 1989), often referred to as "A. Jean Ayres", was an occupational therapist and developmental psychologist known for her work in the area of sensory integration dysfunction, a term she coined in the 1960s to describe a theory used in occupational therapy. She is the author of several books on the subject, including Sensory Integration and the Child. Dr. Ayres also created several test batteries used to help identify issues related to the dysfunction. According to Group Dynamics in Occupational Therapy (2005), Ayres' theory and conclusions remain controversial. A 2002 article in The Scientific Review of Mental Health Practice reported that controlled studies examining the effect of Sensory Integration treatment "have found little support for the efficacy of SIT for treating children with various developmental disabilities". Controversial Therapies for Developmental Disabilities (2004) indicated that in spite of "limited and mostly negative research findings on SIT", the sensory integration approach remained popular among occupational therapists and "other professionals and clinical populations".
