Abstract :
We read with great interest the research entitled ‘‘Effectiveness of sensory integration program in motor skills in children with autism’’ by Abdel Karim and Mohammed [1]. Sensory integration therapy (SIT) is the most common interventions delivered to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who have atypical sensory behavior [2]. We applaud the authors for their effort to design and evaluate the effectiveness of the sensory integration programme that can be another alternative therapy for the clinician to follow in practice. However we would like to share our clinical opinions and request further clarification on this study.
