How to Find an SIPT Certified Sensory Integration Specialist

According to Western Psychological Services (WPS), specialists certified to administer and interpret the sensory integration and praxis test, SIPT, participate in a five-day training course sponsored by the University of Southern California and Western Psychological Services. WPS's Dr. A. Jean Ayres explains that the SIPT uses tests of motor accuracy, space visualization, finger identification and kinesthesia to show test takers how children respond to and organize sensory input. Finding a SIPT certified sensory integration specialist is as simple as accessing the WPS sensory integration certification program information publishing portal.
