Authors' objectives:
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of sensory or auditory integration therapy for children with autistic spectrum disorders.
Authors' recommendations:
Auditory integration therapy (AIT): Weak evidence from limited research suggests that AIT is unlikely to be more effective than unprocessed music in children with autistic spectrum disorders, although both AIT and unprocessed music may be associated with similar improvement in some scores from baseline. However, the clinical importance of these changes is unclear.
Sensory integration therapy (SIT): We have found insufficient evidence about the clinical effects of sensory integration therapy in children with autistic spectrum disorders.
