A. Jean Ayres, an occupational therapist, developed the theory of SI dysfunction more than 30 years ago. Her book is one of the best books ever written on the explanation of sensory integration.

The Out-of-Sync Child: Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Integration Dysfunction
by: Carol Stock Kranowitz
New York: Skylight Press, 1998
Reviewed By: Allison Martin
The Out-of-Sync Child begins with descriptions of what sensory integration is and explains how problems with handling sensory input can manifest themselves. Discussions of the three categories of sensory function are provided - tactile, vestibular, and proprioceptive - along with examples of children who have difficulties with these sensory functions in a preschool or home setting. Several very useful checklists are provided to help you determine if you child has any of these sensory integration problems. The book concludes with a lengthy description of exercises and activities that a parent or therapist can do with a child to assist them in becoming less bothered by sensory issues.
I highly recommend this book for parents and teachers inovlved with children who have sensory integration issues.
