Estimates in the literature, however, indicate that approximately 13% of children with LD exhibit motor deficits. Such children with motor or perceptual-motor problems are of ten referred to occupational therapy and found to have sensory integrative (SI) dysfunction; subsequently, they are treated with techniques aimed at remediating perceptual or sensorimotor dysfunction. Because the results of research concerned with the efficacy fo sensorimotor therapy are inconclusive and incomplete at this time, the position statement may be premature. Occupational therapists, however, must be aware of the statement and respond appropriately.
