Are all OTs and PTs able to treat with a sensory integration focus?
No. Occupational and physical therapists who specialize in sensory integration assessment and intervention must already have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in their field. Certification in SI requires additional, intensive study in sensory integration theory, assessment techniques, interpretation of test results, and intervention and treatment. Some qualified therapists are not SI certified, but are mentored by an SI-certified therapist. We recommend that assessment and treatment be provided only by SI-certified therapists.
