OTA-Watertown Sensory Integration Equipment Manual: This booklet contains general guidelines concerning construction of equipment for sensory integration treatment. Before attempting construction of suspended equipment, it is essential to determine if the building structure in the room where the equipment will be used will support the weight and torque that occurs with swinging equipment.
