Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests

Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT) are standardized assessments used by professionals to evaluate how effectively a person processes and responds to sensory information, such as touch, movement, and balance. These tests help identify difficulties in integrating sensory input and in planning and executing coordinated movements, known as praxis. By understanding these areas, therapists can develop targeted strategies to improve daily functioning, coordination, and learning. SIPT is commonly used with children to diagnose sensory processing issues, but it can also aid in understanding sensory challenges in individuals of all ages.
