Why Have Considerable Resources Been Directed to Finding Links Between

Multiple Choice

Why have considerable resources been directed to finding links between behaviors associated with sensory processing and neural processes, or exploring ways to detect central nervous system (CNS) changes as a result of the Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) intervention?

A) The primary goal of ASI treatment and assumption that is being made is that children will develop skills, functions, and more desired behaviors as a result of enhanced neurological system functioning that will result from experiencing SI treatment.
B) The primary assumption of ASI treatment is that through practice and applying carefully controlled sensory input, new skills can be learned and overall development will be enhanced, despite a static CNS that performs inefficiently.
C) The idea of neuroplasticity has been questioned.
D) The primary goal of ASI treatment is to enhance occupational performance rather than to impact body functions such as the brain processes involved in sensory processing and integration.
