Sensory Integration Therapy

What is Sensory Integration Therapy

Sensory integration therapy focuses on helping children process and respond to sensory information in a regulated way. It addresses the issues they face with perceiving and reacting to sights, sounds, textures and movements. In a safe and structured environment, the therapy uses activities that slowly introduce the child to stimuli and improve their processing. It is designed to help them feel more comfortable and confident in their daily lives. This form of therapy promotes smoother emotional regulation, better attention span and helps them ease their interactions with the world around them.

How does it work?

Sensory integration therapy uses playful, hands-on activities tailored to each child’s sensory needs. Through engaging exercises, it helps children process sensory input more effectively, reducing related behaviours and enhancing daily life skills. This approach helps improve their ability to process sensations, leading to better focus, emotional control, and smoother interactions in everyday life. With guided support for families, the therapy extends beyond sessions, making a positive impact at home as well.
