Sensory Integration Therapy
Sensory Integration Therapy is used to treat individuals with Sensory Processing Disorders (SPD) which occur when there is an inability of the brain to correctly process information brought in by the senses. It can affect coordination, learning, attention, behavior, emotional tone, and self esteem. Children with SPD are often overly sensitive to sensory stimuli, under-responsive to sensory stimuli or fluctuate dependent of the situation or environment. Some children appear inattentive, overly sensitive to smells or unexpected touch, resist new situations, or appear uncoordinated. Successful treatment requires a specific approach and appropriate equipment. Our suspended equipment, weighted garments and other specialized tools offer treatment options that are highly effective for children with these disorders.
Our experienced staff are experts in the assessment and treatment of children with sensory processing deficits. Our staff also incorporates therapy techniques, such as Therapeutic Listening™, the Alert Program and use of sensory diets to facilitate progress.
