Speech-Language and Occupational Therapy
Individual sessions are available for your
child.
Cost: $50 per 30 minute session.
Sensory
Integration Explanation
Many children have difficulty attending to
task and learning new skills because they
operate at high levels of arousal or anxiety.
This causes them to overreact to the stimulation
around them. The brain receives so much
information from the senses that it is difficult
for children to filter what is needed for
success.
Your child
may have sensory issues if he/she is:
-
Hyper-sensitive to touch, noise or lights
-
Unable
to sit still, constantly falling off chairs
or spilling things
-
Misunderstanding/disregarding personal space
-
Avoiding or craving pushing, wrestling,
swinging rocking, jumping, spinning
-
Not
understanding directions, ever
-
Craving
solitude/silence often seen by hidng under
tables or in corners.
OT also
develops core strength, gross and fine motor
skills (including handwriting), daily living
skills like dressing, learning, and playing well
with others.
