Sexuality and Occupational 

Therapy: Strategies for Persons 

With Disabilities 

Edited by Bernadette Hattjar, DrOT, MEd, 

OTR/L, CWCE 

Sexual activity is considered to be an 

ADL by the Occupational Therapy Practice 

Framework, and it is valued among many 

people. Clients who experience an illness 

or injury are entitled to engage in that 

occupation, but sexuality is not typically 

addressed in occupational therapy’s clinical 

or educational settings. 

This illustrated book is intended for occupational therapy clinicians, 

educators, and students who seek to acquire greater understanding 

of how to address sexuality concerns in occupational 

therapy practice, including approaching the topic, understanding 

the specifics, and referring to an appropriate specialist in this area. 


• Overview of occupational therapy and sexuality 

• Arthritis 

• Cancer 

• Diabetes 

• Spinal cord injury 

• Cardiovascular disease 

• Traumatic brain injury 

• Stroke 

• Mental disorders 

• Adolescents with disabilities. 

Occupational therapy endeavors to treat the “whole person,” 

and this book reflects that holistic spirit.

Living With Illness or Disability: 

10 Lessons of Acceptance, 

Understanding, and Perseverance 

By Sharon A. Gutman, PhD, OTR/L 

Some people, when faced with a serious 

illness or disability, can repair their spirit 

and rebuild their lives, while others appear 

to lose hope and deteriorate. Some even find 

that their lives have become more personally 

rewarding, because they believe their 

illness or disability has enhanced their appreciation 

for the opportunity to be alive. 

This book presents 10 transformational experiences and 10 

common themes that emerged from them. Practitioners across 

many settings can use the thought-provoking exercises that 

infuse occupational therapy practice with Eastern techniques and 

Western cognitive therapy to help clients incorporate the themes 

into daily life to enhance life meaning and satisfaction. Share in 

the perspective of clients and use the interviews and exercises to 

develop personal approaches. Includes reference card about 10 lessons 

ideal for clients.

Strategic Evidence-Based 

Interviewing in Occupational 

Therapy 

Presented by Renée R. Taylor, PhD 



Communication with clients can be challenging. 

This course describes structured 

interviews, semi-structured interviews, 

and general clinical interviewing. Using evidence-based examples 

including interview-based assessments described in the occupational 

therapy literature, this course provides a set of norms and 

communication strategies that are likely to maximize success in 

gathering accurate, relevant, and detailed information. Applying 

principles from the Intentional Relationship Model, a case example 

demonstrates how the selection of certain modes of communication 

at critical times can improve outcomes, particularly with 

difficult-to-interview clients.

A Career in Inquiry

Inquiry is the act of asking questions. 

One aspect of inquiry is the collection of 

evidence, and many leaders in occupational

evidence-based practice. Inquiry is broader 

than the collection of evidence, however. 

This lecture gives examples of several types of research performed

inquiry, and discusses how occupational therapists can and should 

base their careers on inquiry on a daily basis, making inquiry an

Weekly Calendar Planning 

Activity: A Performance Test of 

Executive Function 

By Joan Toglia, PhD, OTR, FAOTA 

Occupational therapists frequently 

work with people who are independent 

in routine or basic ADLs but who have 

difficulty with non-routine or complex 

activities. The WCPA was designed to be 

useful across a variety of populations that 

FLASH DRIVE 

have difficulty in executive functioning or 

higher-level cognitive ADLs and IADLs and can be used to screen 

for the underlying nature of performance problems. 

Appropriate for use with adolescents and adults, the WCPA 

involves following and organizing a list of appointments or errands 

into a weekly schedule while keeping track of rules, avoiding 

conflicts, monitoring passage of time, and inhibiting distractions. 

Because performance on multiple-step activities such as the WCPA 

requires coordinating and integrating various cognitive abilities, 

this new assessment provides the opportunity to observe how an 

individual manages a cognitively challenging task. 

This assessment provides measures of accuracy and normative 

comparison and focuses on analysis of the process and how the activity 

is completed. In addition to including a weekly schedule, the 

assessment features client profiles on performance, error analysis, 

awareness of task difficulty, and pre/post comparisons. A flash 

drive contains worksheets and scoring materials for the various 

Adult and Adolescent versions.

Done easily in a clinical setting, without 

driving simulators or taking the client 

on-road, the OT–DORA Battery allows FLASH DRIVE 

practitioners to, with minimal risk and 

expense, find clients’ strengths and weaknesses and pinpoint areas 

on which to focus during rehabilitation. The manual describes how 

the OT–DORA was developed, summarizes research to support its 

use, and details instructions on how to administer the Battery with 

clients. A flash drive contains downloadable and writable versions 

of the administration and client response booklets for use in the 

United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. 

The OT–DORA Battery can be administered by generalist and 

specialist occupational therapists and by other health professionals 

with specialized training, experience, and certification in driver 

assessment, as well as by driver rehabilitation professionals with 

specialized training in determining how health-related changes 

can affect performance skills and elicit patterns that may compromise 

driving.

The Test of Grocery Shopping 

Skills 

By Catana Brown, PhD, OTR, FAOTA; Melisa 

Rempfer, PhD; and Edna Hamera, PhD, APRN 

The TOGSS is a performance-based assessment 

that measures how accurately 

and efficiently clients can locate items in 

a grocery store. Developed primarily to 

assess individuals with serious mental illness, 

this assessment also is ideal for use CD-ROM 

with other populations in which cognitive 

impairments could interfere with community living skills, such as 

persons with brain injury, stroke, dementia, or developmental disabilities. 

Two statistically comparable pre- and post-test forms allow 

practitioners to measure changes in clients’ abilities. This assessment 

also includes instructions for the test administrator and test 

taker, score sheets, grocery lists, and a sample store map and answer 

sheet—all of which are available on the enclosed CD for easy 

use with clients and also in the classroom.

Strategic Evidence-Based 

Interviewing in Occupational 

Therapy 

Presented by Renée R. Taylor, PhD 



Communication with clients can be challenging. 

This course describes structured 

interviews, semi-structured interviews, 

and general clinical interviewing. Using evidence-based examples 

including interview-based assessments described in the occupational 

therapy literature, this course provides a set of norms and 

communication strategies that are likely to maximize success in 

gathering accurate, relevant, and detailed information. Applying 

principles from the Intentional Relationship Model, a case example 

demonstrates how the selection of certain modes of communication 

at critical times can improve outcomes, particularly with 

difficult-to-interview clients.

ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY & ENVIRONMENTAL MODIFICATIONS 


Practice Guidelines for Home 

Modifications 

By Carol Siebert, MS, OTR/L; Stacy Smallfield, 

DrOT, OTR/L; and Susan Stark, PhD, OTR/L 

Home modifications support engagement 

and participation in the home and community. 

The need for home modifications 

arises when the features of the environment 

pose challenges to occupants that 

can create an unsafe situation. 

This guideline addresses home modifications as an intervention 

to use when a person’s abilities are incompatible with environmental 

demands. That intervention includes identifying, developing, 

implementing, and training in the use of home modifications. 

Using an evidence-based perspective and key concepts from the 

Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, this guideline provides 

an overview of the occupational therapy process for home modification 

interventions, as well as best practices. Topics include 

service delivery concepts, team involvement, the home as a context 

for practice, and involving family members in the intervention.

Occupational Therapy and Home 

Modification: Promoting Safety 

and Supporting Participation 

Edited by Margaret Christenson, MPH, OTR/L, 

FAOTA, and Carla Chase, EdD, OTR/L, CAPS 

Participation in meaningful activities in 

the home and community contributes 

to health, wellness, and good quality of 

life. One way that occupational therapy 

supports that participation is by advocating 

for increased accessibility through 

DVD 

universal design and environmental modification. Occupational 

therapy professionals fill a unique role in environmental modification—through 

evaluation, intervention, and outcomes measurement—by 

facilitating the creation of a safe, accessible home that 

allows people to do what is important and relevant to them. 

This publication, which includes a DVD of hundreds of photographic 

and video resources, is divided into three sections: “Evaluating 

Client and Environment,” “Developing and Implementing 

the Plan,” and “Moving the Profession Forward.” Chapters, written 

by occupational therapy professionals, as well as policymakers, researchers, 

designers, and builders, articulate the meaning of home 

to clients, define universal design, offer assessments and outcomes 

measurements, delineate collaborative roles, discuss funding options, 

and provide networking and marketing guidance. 

This text was created for occupational therapy students and 

professionals new to home modification but also will benefit those 

who have been practicing in this area through discussions of the 

latest assessment tools and new assistive technology. Therapists 

who work with either adults or children will find helpful guidelines 

and suggestions.

Various reports in the national media 

have focused on a potentially significant 

rise in the incidence of autism during the 

past decade. As such, providing occupational 

therapy practitioners with a comprehensive 

guide for practice with people 

with an ASD continues as a primary goal of this text. Recognizing 

that young children grow into adolescents and adolescents grow 

into adults, this edition also includes additional content applicable 

to adults as well as incorporates the findings from the explosion of 

recent research in this area. 

Using the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework as a guide, 

the chapters provide the information occupational therapy practitioners 

need to work with individuals with an ASD in client-centered 

and occupation-based practice. 

Section Highlights and Topics— 

• Section I. An Introduction to the Autism Spectrum Disorders— 

historical background, neurology, etiology 

• Section II. Common Strengths and Challenges for Individuals 

With an ASD—diagnosis, communication, socialization, emotional 

regulation, sensory processing, motor control 

• Section III. Occupations in Individuals With an ASD—individual 

and family occupations 

• Section IV. Occupational Therapy Evaluation and Intervention 

for Individuals With an ASD—appropriate techniques, play, selfcare, 

sensory integration, technology 

• Section IV. Occupational Therapy Practice: Contexts and Use 

of Evidence—early intervention, transitions, evidence-based 

practice. 

“Did You Know?” boxes highlight information such as statistics 

or resources to further expand awareness and knowledge of 

concepts relevant to providing services to individuals with an ASD. 

This book remains a must-have resource for occupational therapy 

students and practitioners at all levels.

Guidelines for Adults With Stroke 

By Timothy J. Wolf, OTD, MSCI, OTR/L, FAOTA, 

and Dawn M. Nilsen, EdD, OT/L 

Advancements in medical care related to 

stroke have greatly improved in recent 

years, and the annual stroke death rate 

has declined 35.8% since 2010. This 

decrease has led to a dramatic increase 

in the prevalence of people living with 

chronic symptoms from stroke, which 

is now a leading cause of disability and one of the most common 

health conditions treated by occupational therapists. 

This Practice Guideline provides an overview of the occupational 

therapy process for adults who have experienced a stroke, defining 

the domain and interventions that occur within acceptable 

occupational therapy practice. Topics include evaluation, intervention, 

and outcomes, and extensive attention is given to cognitive, 

motor, and psychosocial impairments.

Early Childhood: Occupational 

Therapy Services for Children 

Birth to Five 

Edited by Barbara E. Chandler, PhD, OTR/L, 

FAOTA 

Occupational therapy brings the perspective 

of occupational engagement to early 

childhood practice. Advances or deviations 

in childhood development resonate 

throughout the child’s body and experience. 

How these changes are expressed, 

experienced, and addressed from a family-centered focus has profound 

implications for the child’s ability to engage in occupations 

that are meaningful and valuable for their quality of life. Occupational 

therapy brings the perspective of occupational engagement 

to early childhood practice. 

This book and Self-Paced Clinical Course provides an enlightening 

journey through occupational therapy with children at the earliest 

stage of their lives. It focuses on community-based programs, 

looks at the impact of federal legislation on occupational therapy 

practice, and explores ways to articulate and demonstrate the 

expertise of occupational therapy in transitioning early childhood 

development into occupational engagement in natural environments.

Guidelines for Early Childhood: 

Birth Through 5 Years 

By Gloria Frolek Clark, PhD, OTR/L, BCP, 

FAOTA, and Karrie Kingsley, OTD, OTR/L 

During early childhood, most children in 

the United States achieve their developmental 

milestones; however, about 1 

of every 6 children will have a developmental 

disability or disabling behavioral 

problem before age 18. Less than half are 

identified during early childhood. 

This publication addresses occupational therapy practice for 

children birth through age 5 years, including early intervention 

and preschool practice. It defines the occupational therapy domain, 

process, and intervention that occur within the boundaries of 

acceptable practice. Topics include prematurity, ASDs, feeding 

disorders, obesity, the NICU, and cerebral palsy, as well as motor 

and praxis skills, sensory–perceptual skills, emotional regulation, 

cognitive skills, and communication and social skills. Interventions 

discussed include those promoting social–emotional development; 

for feeding, eating, and swallowing; for improving cognitive 

development; for promoting motor performance; and for service 

delivery in early childhood. Appendices contain additional information 

relating to early childhood practice, coding for intervention 

and evaluations, funding sources affecting early childhood settings, 

and methodologies used in the evidence-based literature review.

Guidelines for Driving and 

Community Mobility for Older 

Adults 

By Wendy Stav, PhD, OTR/L, SCDCM, FAOTA 

Driving and community mobility occupy 

a central place in the lives of older 

adults and their families and friends. 

These skills are particularly valuable 

as occupational enablers because they 

facilitate participation in other IADLs, 

education, work, play, leisure, and social activities. The changes 

that take place during aging, however, may result in challenges to 

older adults’ ability to drive or otherwise navigate the community. 

Therefore, occupational therapy practitioners need to address driving 

and community mobility with aging clients. 

This Practice Guideline provides an overview of the occupational 

therapy process for adults whose driving and community 

mobility have been affected by various age-related conditions. 

Topics include evaluation and behind-the-wheel assessment, client 

interventions, technology- and vehicle-based interventions, 

and policy interventions. Special attention is given to assessment 

considerations for people with Alzheimer’s disease.

Occupational Therapy History: 

The First 30 Years, 1900 to 1930 

By Virginia A. M. Quiroga, PhD 

Foreword by Robert K. Bing 

Since the occupational therapy profession 

emerged in the 1910s, it has had to 

explain itself to the world of medicine and 

to the public. The word therapy seems to 

have been understood easily; the word 

occupation has been more troublesome. In 

the early part of the 20th century, with its 

new focus on science and medicine, many 

interpreted it to mean “vocational.” But to the early occupational 

therapists it meant more than that. They took a holistic approach 

to health care, believing that, to achieve good health, a patient had 

to engage the body, mind, and spirit in the process of healing. 

For occupational therapists, today’s world parallels that of 

a century ago. By studying the legacy of experience left by the 

profession’s founders and immediate successors, readers can learn 

about their creativeness under dire conditions, which produced 

concepts and ideas that can enlighten us today. This book offers 

substantial knowledge and inspiration that enhances our competence, 

understanding, and courage.

MENTAL HEALTH 

AVAILABLE FROM AOTA PRESS & AOTA CE! 

Occupational Therapy in Mental 

Health: Considerations for 

Advanced Practice 

Edited by Marian Kavanagh Scheinholtz, MS, 

OT/L 

Occupational therapy began as a mental 

health profession but over time has lost 

its recognition as a leading profession 

contributing to the recovery of people 

with mental illness. Assuming positions 

of leadership and influence in policymaking, 

clinical services, and education is vital to the sustainability 

of occupational therapy practice in mental health. 

This book and Self-Paced Clinical Course offers a comprehensive 

discussion of recent advances and trends in mental health 

practice, including theories, standards of practice, and evidence as 

they apply to occupational therapy. Chapters include content from 

several federal and nongovernmental entities such as the National 

Institute of Mental Health, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration, and the National Council on Persons With 

Disabilities. 

Chapters offer readers an understanding of the— 

• Implications of the 2003 President’s New Freedom Commission 

on Mental Health report concerning the U.S. mental health 

system for occupational therapy practice; 

• The Recovery Model, its promotion of the participation of 

consumers with mental illness, and its use as a framework for 

occupational therapy practice in mental health; 

• Current topics such as trauma-informed care, consumerdirected 

care, and the use of evidence-based practices—and 

their application to occupational therapy; and 

• Advanced roles for occupational therapists, including advocacy, 

private practice, and consulting. 

It is an exceptional tool in support of the advanced-practice 

AOTA Board Certification in Mental Health (BCMH) process. It also 

is relevant to maintain competency and keep current in mental 

health occupational therapy practice, education, and leadership.

MENTAL HEALTH 



Serious Mental Illness 

By Catana Brown, PhD, OTR, FAOTA 

About 26% of Americans have a mental 

illness; 6% have serious mental illness. 

This makes mental illness a leading cause 

of disability in America. Using an evidence-based 

perspective and key concepts 

from the Occupational Therapy Practice 

Framework, this guideline provides an 

overview of the occupational therapy process for adults with serious 

mental illness. It details occupational therapy interventions 

and explains the contribution of the profession in mental health in 

areas such as education, work, community living, health and wellness, 

and cognition. This guideline includes evidence tables in each 

area, as well as examples of diagnostic and billing coding.

Guidelines for Mental Health 

Promotion, Prevention, and 

Intervention for Children and 

Youth 

By Susan Bazyk, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA, and 

Marian Arbesman, PhD, OTR/L 

The U.S. Surgeon General has estimated 

that between 5% and 11% of school-age 

children have mental health disorders 

that result in extreme or significant 

functional impairment, indicating that of the 70 million children 

and adolescents in the United States, 6 million to 9 million have a 

serious emotional disturbance. 

Federal legislation mandates services, including occupational 

therapy, for some children with disabilities. As positive mental 

health is considered fundamental to overall health and quality 

of life and contributes to the functioning of individuals, families, 

communities, and societies, this guideline presents a public health 

model to envision and guide occupational therapy services in the 

promotion of mental health and prevention and intervention of 

mental illness for school, community, and health care settings. 

Topics include universal mental health promotion and prevention 

services, targeted mental health services, and intensive mental 

health services.

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY PRACTICE FRAMEWORK 

Bestseller! 


Framework: Domain and Process, 

3rd Edition 

By American Occupational Therapy Association 

As occupational therapy celebrates its 

centennial in 2017, attention returns to 

the profession’s founding belief in the 

value of therapeutic occupations as a way 

to remediate illness and maintain health. 

The founders emphasized the importance 

of establishing a therapeutic relationship 

with each client and designing an intervention plan based on the 

knowledge about a client’s context and environment, values, goals, 

and needs. Using today’s lexicon, the profession’s founders proposed 

a vision for the profession that was occupation based, client 

centered, and evidence based—the vision articulated in this new 

edition of the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework: Domain 

and Process. 

The Framework is a must-have AOTA official document. Intended 

for occupational therapy practitioners and students, other 

health care professionals, educators, researchers, payers, and consumers, 

the Framework summarizes the interrelated constructs that 

describe occupational therapy practice. In addition to the creation 

of a new preface to set the tone for the work, this edition includes 

the following highlights: 

• A redefinition of the overarching statement describing 

occupational therapy’s domain 

• A new definition of clients that includes persons, groups, and 

populations 

• Further delineation of the profession’s relationship to 

organizations 

• Inclusion of activity demands as part of the process 

• And even more up-to-date analysis and guidance for today’s 

occupational therapy practitioners. 

Achieving health, well-being, and participation in life through engagement 

in occupation is the overarching statement that describes 

the domain and process of occupational therapy in the fullest 

sense. The Framework can provide the structure and guidance that 

practitioners can use to meet this important goal.

FALLS PREVENTION CE COURSE SERIES 

Falls Modules I, II, and III are a 3-part series of online 

continuing education courses on falls prevention to 

support occupational therapists in providing evidencebased 

services to older adults at risk for falling or who 

seek preventative services. 

Falls Module I—Falls Among Community-Dwelling 

Older Adults: Overview, Evaluation, and Assessments 

Presented by Elizabeth W. Peterson, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA, and Roberta 

Newton, PhD, PT, FGSA 


This first course in a 3-part series is divided into 2 sections: 

“Understanding Falls Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: 

Prevalence, Consequences, and Risk Factors” and “Approaches to 

the Evaluation of Fall Risk”. The course explains use of the AGS/ 

BGS Fall Prevention Guideline in practice and offers an holistic approach 

to addressing falls. Learn practical information for considering 

safety for community-dwelling older adults. 

2011 


Falls Module II—Falls Among Older Adults in the 

Hospital Setting: Overview, Assessment, and 

Strategies to Reduce Fall Risk 

Presented by Roberta Newton, PhD, PT, FGSA, and Elizabeth W. Peterson, 



This second course in the falls prevention series provides an 

overview of falls that occur in the hospital setting. The course describes 

the role of occupational therapy in both individualized and 

system-wide, hospital-based fall prevention programs. Completing 

the course prepares participants to articulate to other health 

care providers and clients their contributions to assess and provide 

strategies that focus on identifying older adults at risk for falls, 

factors that contribute to fall risks, and assessment strategies that 

utilize occupational therapy expertise. 

Note: Falls Module II addresses specific topics but briefly overlaps 

with the other 2 courses in the series, as some falls prevention 

principles and strategies are applicable across settings.

Falls Module III—Preventing Falls Among Community-

Earn .45 AOTA CEU (5.63 NBCOT PDUs/4.5 contact hours). 

This 3rd course in the falls prevention series explains evidencebased 

intervention strategies to reduce falls among communitydwelling 

older adults and features 2 case studies with video clips 

to promote application of the information presented. It is strongly 

recommended that participants complete Falls Module I before 

taking this course. 

In this course, community-dwelling older adults include both 

older adults who are well and those who are living with chronic 

diseases. Evidence supporting falls prevention intervention for 

people with specific chronic diseases (stroke, Parkinson’s disease, 

and multiple sclerosis) is limited. However, self-management 

principles presented in this course have a strong evidence base 

that will support their use. The course content describes how occupational 

therapists and their clients can apply self-management 

principles to falls prevention intervention.

Edited by Gloria Frolek Clark, PhD, OTR/L, BCP, FAOTA, and Barbara E. Chandler, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA 

Nearly 22% of school occupational therapy practitioners work in school settings, creating demand for 

current, effective, and evidence-based best practices for students. Reflecting the extensiveness of occupational 

therapy practice in schools, this exciting publication contains best practices from preschool to 

postsecondary transitions, from ADLs to driving. 


• Section I. Foundations of School Practice—history, the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, ethics, 

role of OTAs, state guidelines, leadership, professional access and negotiation, and student access. 

• Section II. Evidence-Guided Practices: Systems-Level Considerations to Support Participation—evaluation, 

intervention, documentation, program evaluation, workloads, fieldwork, collaborating, resolving 

conflicts, EI services and RtI, health and wellness, mental health, universal design for learning, 

transportation, preschooler transition, and postsecondary transition. 

• Section III. Evidence-Guided Practices: Population-Based Planning to Support Participation—504 plans, 

autism, emotional disturbance, hearing impairments and deafness, low incidence disabilities, health impairments, physical disabilities, 

learning disabilities, traumatic brain injury, and visual impairments. 

• Section IV. Evidence-Guided Practices: Performance-Based Considerations to Enhance Student Participation—cognition and executive functioning, 

sensory processing skills, motor and praxis skills, visual perception, fine motor and visual–perceptual skills, and communication 

and social skills. 

• Section V. Evidence-Guided Practices: Activity-Based Considerations to Enhance Student Participation—literacy, handwriting, assistive technology, 

ADLs, IADLs, eating and swallowing, play and leisure, and driver’s education. 

With a deliberate focus on student participation, this comprehensive text provides practical applications of evidence-based research to 

daily practice. This work guides readers through issues particularly relevant to occupational therapy in schools, such as RtI and positive 

behavioral supports, 504 plans, IEPs, and students’ rights and eligibility for occupational therapy services under relevant laws like IDEA.

Patten Koenig, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA; Patricia 

L. Davies, PhD, OTR, FAOTA; and Roseann C. 

Schaaf, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA 

Up to 15% of school-age children are 

believed to have sensory challenges, and 

at least 40% of individuals with developmental disabilities and 80% 

of those with autism are affected. As such, research in these areas 

has surged. This publication discusses the occupational therapy 

process for children and adolescents with these challenges, including 

the foundations of occupational therapy services, evaluation, 

and intervention. Extensive evidence tables summarize current, 

relevant research by analyzing and rating the validity of studies 

and organizing research according to clients’ ages and challenges. 

Designed primarily for clinical practitioners, this guideline also 

is a vital reference for occupational therapy students and educators, 

policymakers, and other health care professionals who work 

with clients with challenges in sensory processing and sensory 

integration. For external audiences, the guideline clarifies the role 

of occupational therapy services for children and adolescents with 

challenges in processing and integrating sensory information.
