MemberThe New York State Department of Health Report on Best Practices for Children with Autism, which Dr. Freeman cites, can also be accessed online from the New York State Department of Health website, at:
http://www.health.state.ny.us/nysdoh/eip/autism/index.htm#Table_of_Contents
This version, being on internet, is not the 'official version', yet being on the NY DOH website, it has sufficient credibility for any concerns you may have.
It is also important to note that this report came out in 1999, 4 years ago. While I am in no way speaking regarding the specific issue of sensory integration (which I have not looked into at all), I do know that some areas that were poorly researched at the time of the report's publication have since been the focus of much scientific research. Some of these studies have been fairly solid, with good control groups, replicable and replicated designs and multiple established measures for quantifying improvement. This is to say that while the NY Report is an invaluable source of useful critique by very informed individuals, it is getting dated in some aspects. As should always be the case, use caution in any sources that you use.
