Ayres' Sensory Integration WISE

07/12/2025

Evidence for “sensory integration” is often described as limited or confusing, but is that still true in 2025 and beyond? In this Research Corner review, we take a fresh, calm look at three major new publications on sensory integration, sensory-based interventions and a high-quality ASI-only review.
Together, they help us untangle what lies beneath the sensory umbrella, where the most substantial evidence now resides, and why fidelity, participation, and co-production matter so much. Whether you are a therapist, educator, manager, or parent, this piece is designed to provide a clear and hopeful overview that you can share with colleagues, service providers, and families as you make decisions about sensory-informed support.

Sensory Integration and ADHD

We are excited to share a new post highlighting a strong piece of research showing how Ayres Sensory Integration can make a real difference for children with ADHD. The study found meaningful improvements in sensorimotor skills, attention, executive functioning, emotional regulation, and everyday participation. It offers encouraging evidence for families and therapists who want to understand how sensory integration and processing shape a child’s ability to learn and thrive.

This article speaks to the Royal College of Occupational Therapists call for Right Support, Right Time - evidence that early intervention can make a difference, and why there is a need for services to continue across the lifetime.
