Dissertation / The sensory integration approach originates from physical (anatomical and
physiological) evidence whilst the play therapy approach originates from
psychological evidence. Apart from play therapy, the researcher has also
attended various courses in sensory integration therapy.
Although both of these approaches are used as intervention methods with
children who display behavioural, emotional and social difficulties, the researcher
considered whether it was important for a play therapist to be aware of sensory
integration therapy. The researcher then started this study in order to investigate
the incidence of sensory integration dysfunction in children who receive play
therapy. After completing the study, the researcher is of opinion that it is indeed
necessary for play therapists to be aware of sensory integration theory in order to
provide holistic play therapy intervention and to ensure positive therapy
outcomes. / Social Work / M.Diac. (Play Therapy)
