A profile for managing sensory integrative test data

A concise method for compiling a data profile from a general sensory integrative test battery has been presented. Subtests from each test used were categorized according to the sensory integrative and motor functions being tested. These categories have been defined and include: tactile-kinesthetic perception, visual perception-figure ground, visual perception-constancy, ocular control, gross motor control, fine motor control, integration of function-two sides of the body, orientation in space, body awareness, and auditory discrimination. A method for converting the various scores into descriptive terminology is provided in which the test results are reported as above age expectancy, appropriate for age, somewhat deficient for age, and markedly deficient for age. The clinical implications of the technique are discussed.
