Welcome from the SIPSIS Chair
Welcome to the AOTA SIPSIS webpage! I am honored to lead this dedicated community focused on sensory integration and processing. The SIPSIS standing committee is made up of passionate professionals with diverse backgrounds and expertise, all committed to advancing knowledge and best practices in this essential area of occupational therapy.
Our goal is to provide valuable resources, foster collaboration, and support practitioners in their work with individuals of all ages who experience sensory integration and processing challenges. We are continually developing tools and initiatives to enhance your practice, and we welcome your feedback, ideas, and contributions.
Please feel free to reach out to me at akselrodls@vcu.edu if you have any suggestions or if there is anything we can do to better support your needs. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.

Lauren Andelin, OTD, OTR/L, BCP
