I think the label should be sensory integration therapy and not use 'sensory therapy'. Sensory integration therapy seems to be the way it is described by many groups and I think this may be confused with sensory re-education/training therapy and sensorimotor therapy. These terms aren't currently in MAxO, but if present, would be under physical therapy.

It may be reasonable to set up a hierarchy for sensory types of therapy that is outside of PT/OT separation, but that would not be implemented immediately.

Do you agree?
