Dear Ester,
The problem is that we have a very few theoritical evidence in the field of Sensory Integration and same Goes for NDT. That doesnt mean they are not effective. From what I have seen from my experience SI does have a huge impact on these children. Many have improved drastically. But then it is your judgement to take it.
Again What I feel is that there are experiments being conducted around the world, the problem is that various variables cannot be controlled.
Therapist like myself depend on the experience of Jean Ayres and Erna Blanch.
Regards.
Additional Comment I forgot:
Hi Shruthi,
From What I have seen from ur post is that he seems to have sensory problem indeed. Let me post this question 1)How do know he is Autistic? ( who diagnosed that) 2) Is he a ADHD? There is a fair chance he could be. But I am forced to accecpt with wat u say.
U were asking for the special PT,OT tech? He could benifit from SI.
The problem is we dont go for specific assesment for toe walkers, rather only a generalised SI assesment. May be that can give a detailed analysis of his condition.
Regards
