  • Title: A sensory-integration program for blind campers.
    Author: Van Benschoten R.
    Journal: Am J Occup Ther; 1975; 29(10):615-7. PubMed ID: 1181937.
    Abstract:
    An occupational therapy pilot program with emphasis on sensory integration was introduced into a six-week day camp for 18 blind children. The therapist screened and assessed the children through a number of tests that did not require sight. A treatment session was held five mornings each week that stressed individual therapy, and involved balance, movement, and body form concepts. The campers' performance improved in vestibular integration, in lessening of fear of movement, and, in some, in improved integration of reflexes. Plans have been made to continue the program in succeeding summers.
