Sensory Integration and Learning Disabilities: Ayres' Factor Analyses Reappraised.

Cummins, Robert A.

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v24 n3 p160-68 Mar 1991

This study reexamines factor analyses from which A. J. Ayres claimed to have identified perceptual-motor factors found in the scores of children with learning disabilities but not normally learning children. The reappraisal finds no support for the claim, and as a result, no support for derived diagnostic procedures or remedial programs. (Author/JDD)
