    The Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT) is a comprehensive assessment of sensory and motor processing for children ages 4-8 years that was developed by Dr. A. Jean Ayres in 1989. The SIPT has 17 subtests in six categories that assess skills like visual-motor coordination, tactile discrimination, balance, bilateral integration, and praxis. The results of the SIPT provide useful information to design programs that can improve children's performance in areas like reading, writing, attention, sports, self-confidence, and socialization for those with complex learning difficulties, Autism, or ADHD.

    SENSORY INTEGRATION AND PRAXIS

    TEST PROFILE
    The Sensory Integration and Praxis Test (SIPT) was developed for children 4.0-8.11 years of age by Dr. A. Jean Ayres in 1989,
    and is a comprehensive assessment of sensory and motor processing that impacts on learning and behaviour. Information
    gathered by the SIPT is useful in design of programs for children with complex learning difficulties, Autism, or ADHD;
    information that will improve childrens performance in printing, reading, attention, sports, self confidence, and socialization.
    The SIPT has 17 subtests summarized below, which fall into six categories of sensory and motor function: (1) form and space,
    (2) visual motor, (3) tactile discrimination, (4) vestibular-proprioceptive processing, (5) bilateral integration and sequencing, and
    (6) praxis.
