Abstract
This case report describes how a physiotherapy program with Ayres Sensory Integration was associated with changes in a 3 years old child with low muscle tone and speech disorders. To see how the Ayres Sensory Integration Physiotherapy Program affects muscle tone, speech, and the relation between muscle tone and speech, a 24-week physiotherapy program with Ayres Sensory Integration was initiated. Before and after the therapy, Development Screening Test, speech, muscle tone, and Antigravity Test were assessed and recorded. Muscle tone, speech, Development Screening Test and Antigravity Test results have all improved. Children with low muscle tone and speech difficulties can benefit from physiotherapy programs involving Ayres Sensory Integration. In addition to speech therapy, children with speech issues should get sensory integration therapy
