Sensory Integration Praxis Tests

The Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT) is made up of 17 subtests that evaluate several aspects of praxis from a sensory integration frame of reference. The three-hour test, designed for children ages 4-8, provides specific treatment diagnosis for treatment planning. It is best used on children with mild to moderate learning delays or motor delays.

Sensory Integration/Sensory Processing helps your child connect to his or her world. It’s the neurological process that organizes sensations from the body and environment and then allows you to use your body within that environment. In our therapy sessions, we guide your child in meaningful play designed to enhance his ability to solve problems, initiate movement, figure out the sequence of an activity, and enjoy new movement. We focus on sensations such as touch, light and deep pressure, vestibular input, movement based on position of the head and proprioception (the ability to move within your environment).

Our goal is to help your child reach functional goals that you’ve identified such as dressing, eating, playing, reading and writing.
