Ottenbacher's analysis concluded that SI had a positive effect on the subjects receiving the therapy (1982). However, he later reports that his study had several limitations associated with interpretation of the data (1991): there was no consistency in subjects' areas of improvement, and much of the sub-analysis was confounded. Ottenbacher concludes in a 1991 textbook on sensory integration that "previous attempts to synthesize and interpret existing sensory integration research reveal that a clear empirical consensus does not exist regarding the validity of sensory integration theory, or the effectiveness of sensory integration practice." Ottenbacher further concludes more research is needed to reach empirical consensus. Smith examined several investigations evaluating SI's effectiveness for children with developmental disabilities (Smith, 1996). Smith concludes SI did not decrease self injury, did not reduce ritualistic behaviors and did not show increases in motor development. Like Arendt, Smith concludes "studies on sensory integration therapy are sparse, but they have consistently yielded adverse findings" (Smith, 1996). autistic resources and blogs . 1. PERCEPTION 2.
