SIPT: Sensory Integration & Praxis Tests
The Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests (SIPT) is a standardized measure for the sensory integration processes that underlie learning and behavior. By showing how children organize and respond to sensory input, SIPT helps pinpoint specific organic problems associated with learning disabilities, emotional disorders, and minimal brain dysfunction. The SIPT measures visual, tactile, and kinesthetic perception as well as motor performance. This 2 1/2 hour battery of tests is the most comprehensive assessment of sensory integration available.
The SIPT is designed to test children between the ages of 4.0 years/months-8.11 years/months
It is composed of the following 17 tests:
|
Space Visualization
Figure-Ground Perception
Standing/Walking Balance
Design Copying
Postural Praxis
Bilateral Motor Coordination
Praxis on Verbal Command
Constructional Praxis
Post-Rotary Nystagmus |
Motor Accuracy
Sequencing Praxis
Oral Praxis
Manual Form Perception
Kinesthesia
Finger Identification
Graphesthesia
Localization of Tactile Stimuli |
The entire battery can be given in 2.5 hours. And any of the individual tests can be administered separately. Norms are provided for each test--based on a national sample of more than 2,000 children.
This test does not make provisions for specific treatment planning nor treatment strategies to be used to remediate the identified dysfunction. Our clinicians can make personalized treatment recommendations once a child has been evaluated.
