This study aimed to identify the scientific production produced and published in
journals indexed in the main international databases, referring to the area of
Occupational Therapy (TO) with the Ayres sensory integration method. An integrative
literature review was performed, for which 3 articles were selected, published between
2014 and 2019, in the main databases to perform the search, namely: PubMed, Scielo,
CAPS Journal Portal, LILACS, Occupational Therapy Journal from the University of
São Paulo (USP) and Occupational Therapy Journal of the Federal University of São
Carlos (Ufscar). The publications of interest to the study were selected according to the
combinations of the descriptors: “Sensory integration AND occupational therapy”
“sensory integration AND occupational therapy” and “sensory integration and
occupational therapy”. Studies show that occupational therapist performance using
sensory integration in individuals with sensory dysfunction has improved, especially in
sensory processing, engagement and participation in daily activities. Further publication
by occupational therapy professionals of this method is required.
