Abstract
The purpose of the present investigation was to design, implement, and measure the outcome of a language treatment programme for a school- age child with sensory integration dysfunction. Standardized tests and criterion-referenced measures were used to determine areas of difficulty and goals for treatment. Treatment was implemented on a twice-a-week basis for 32 weeks. Data were obtained every four weeks throughout the course of the treatment. Progress, although variable across objectives, was noted in each of the targeted areas. Results are discussed in terms of selecting targets from baseline data, how a sensory integration disorder can make an impact on language functions, and the importance of measuring outcomes.
