Sensory interventions are commonly used to improve self-regulation and attention in children with autism. This systematic review summarizes current sensory interventions used by OT practitioners and determines the quality of evidence for these interventions. This analysis allows practitioners to use best evidence when choosing intervention strategies for their clients.Primary Author and Speaker: Nicole RobergeContributing Authors: Jewel Elias Crasta
