Authors' recommendations: Sensory-based interventions for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) are designed to improve abnormalities in sensory processing and sensory integration that are prevalent in these complex disorders, and ultimately improve cognitive, behavioral, and social functioning of autistic individuals. Different types of sensory-based treatments include, but are not limited to, auditory integration training (AIT), sound therapy, sensory integration therapy/training (SIT), use of a weighted vest, and music therapy.
