Enhancing the Sensory Integration of Aphasic StudentsKaren Pamelia DePauw was a developmental and remedial physical education teacher for the Los Angeles County Public Schools. In addition, she is clinic director for the Educational Studies Center for Adapted Physical Education and assistant professor in the Department of Physical Education at California State University, Los Angeles, Calif. 90034. This study investigated the value of a sensorimotor program to the sensory integration of aphasic students. The sensorimotor program, designed to enhance sensory integration, utilized sensory stimulation through motor activities. The relationship of change between three groups, one experimental and two control, was investigated. The experimental group received the sensorimotor program 20 minutes daily for seven months during the school year. One control group received only a remedial physical education program and the other control group received neither program. The statistical evidence shows a significant trend towards improved sensory integration after a sensorimotor program.
