If there is, I would love to know. Please share with us.

Good job, Esther.

Just to reiterate, there is no evidence that suggests toe-walking is due to "sensory processing dysfunction." Nothing. Thus, clinicians that suggest children with toe-walking having sensory processing dysfunction are not practicing evidence-based and likely in error. Maintaining this logic, sensory intergration (SI) "techniques" likely would be incorrect and a waste of time for treatment of toe-walking.
