Little empirical support exists for the application of sensory integration treatment (SIT) to assist children with learning problems. Treatment efficacy studies are expensive and difficult to carry out, and they have necessarily employed small samples that are inevitably heterogeneous. We have reanalyzed the efficacy of SIT by combining the data from one study involving 29 children in Alberta and a second study involving 67 children in Ontario. The results from each individual study, and now the results from the combined study, lead one to the conclusion that the therapeutic effect of SIT on children with learning deficits is not greater than other, more traditional methods of intervention.
感觉统合治疗（SIT）用于帮助有学习问题的儿童，几乎没有实证支持。治疗效果研究成本高昂且难以开展，而且必然采用了不可避免具有异质性的小样本。我们通过合并一项涉及艾伯塔省29名儿童的研究和另一项涉及安大略省67名儿童的研究的数据，重新分析了感觉统合治疗的效果。每项单独研究的结果，以及现在合并研究的结果，都让人得出这样的结论：感觉统合治疗对有学习缺陷儿童的治疗效果并不比其他更传统的干预方法更好。
