ABELENDA, Alejandra J  and  RODRIGUEZ ARMENDARIZ, Ekaine. Evidencia científica de integración sensorial como abordaje de terapia ocupacional en autismo. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2020, vol.80, suppl.2, pp.41-46. ISSN 0025-7680.

This article briefly presents the theoretical and practical background of Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) and its application in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Historical criticisms on the evidence of ASI as a therapeutic intervention are reviewed and contemporary evidence is presented. According to standards established by the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC), an international organization that develops criteria for categorizing evidence-based practices, ASI is an evidence-based practice.

Keywords : Autism; Ayres sensory integration; Evidence-based practice.
