TORRES-ROMERO, Samanta Beatriz; LOPEZ CORTES, Vicente Arturo  and  ROJAS-SOLIS, José Luis. SENSORY INTEGRATION THERAPY FOR AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW. Ajayu [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.1, pp.1-19. ISSN 2077-2161.

Sensory Integration Disorder (TPS) is a problem that affects more than 90% of the population with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), through hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity. The main treatment for this disorder is Sensory Integration Therapy (SIT), which has been involved in controversy since its appearance, since the researchers have not concluded whether or not it is useful for the needs of the patient population with ASD. For this reason, the present work performs a systematic review that analyzes the implementation and results of the SIT in various countries. 10 articles available in the databases of Clarivate, Directory of Open Access Journal, EBSCO, Sage Journal, Scopus, Springer Link and Taylor & Francis were analyzed, quantitative, pre-experimental and longitudinal, whose findings favor the implementation of the SIT. In conclusion, due to inconsistent results and limited limitations of the review, it is important to carry out a larger number of investigations that can obtain a broader view of the application and effects of SIT.

Keywords : Sensory Integration Therapy; Autism; Systematic Review.
