Goals of OTs in evaluation and treatment of basic sensory integrative processes include providing sensory information that helps organize the central nervous system.

A school psychologist would provide Samantha with individual counseling to address behaviors that have interfered with learning. A social worker would promote and enhance Samantha's coping and problem-solving abilities.
