Therapies based on the TSMT model are only justified if there is evidence of an organic origin and/or sensory processing disorder underlying the symptoms of differential development. Regression therapies are used to reduce symptoms caused by organic immaturity, to facilitate the experience of one's own experiences and movements, and to develop motor responses to different situations.
