The Balcones Sensory Integration Screening
Kit is available from TOTA.
The Balcones Sensory Integration Screening
Protocol is a test developed by occupational therapists as
a sensory integrative screening instrument or as a component of
a more detailed neuropsychological battery and is designed to aid
in problem identification. The test is appropriate for the kindergarten
through twelfth grade population (approximately ages 5 - 18).
There are eight major component categories which include items in
gross motor, fine motor, and percetual motor areas. The categories
are ocular-motor control, proprioception, primitive reflex-brain stem
midline interaction, vestibuar, tactile perception, sterognosis, visual-motor
(form) perception, and lateralization. The intent of the test is to
identify students who might benefit from sensory-motor/sensory integrative
testing and programming. Using information gained from the screening
is helpful in identifying special neuro-behavioral; behavioral; and/or
classroom performance. Findings can also aid the classroom teacher's
expectation of the child's performance.
The cost for this outstanding diagnostic tool is $50, postage included.
