Abstract
The project attempted to look at the approach used by occupational therapists in Britain for children with perceptual motor disorders. It consisted of a review of literature published in the British Journal of Occupational Therapy from 1970–81. The results suggested that occupational therapists used a variety of assessments and treatment methods with a slant towards sensory and perceptual motor approaches.
