As A Discrete Dysfunction
The concept of sensory integration dysfunction as a discrete dysfunction was popularized by Anna Jean Ayres, an occupational therapist. Today, some occupational therapists argue in favor of creating a discrete diagnostic category for sensory integration dysfunction, but this position is disputed. SID is not a recognized diagnosis in the DSM-IV-TR or the ICD-10.

Famous quotes containing the word discrete:
“We have good reason to believe that memories of early childhood do not persist in consciousness because of the absence or fragmentary character of language covering this period. Words serve as fixatives for mental images. . . . Even at the end of the second year of life when word tags exist for a number of objects in the child’s life, these words are discrete and do not yet bind together the parts of an experience or organize them in a way that can produce a coherent memory.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
