Sensory Therapy

Sensory therapy may be helpful if your child struggles in the following areas:

  • Visual input – Being sensitive to bright lights, distracted by movements or with spatial relationships.
  • Response to noise – Bothered by loud sounds or makes extra noises
  • Movement and balance – In constant motion or afraid of being off the ground.
  • Self – feedback on how the body uses all of the stimulation coming from the environment. 
  • Playing too forcefully or with not enough force. 
  • Not being coordinated or using smooth moves to complete tasks or movements.

Our therapists have trained using two specialized programs:

The first uses balance, auditory processing, visual tracking through exercises.  This helps develop hand-eye coordination, visual tracking skills and crossing the mid-line.

The second increases attention in concentration, relationship and communication, memory and organizational skills.  The goal is to improve reading, writing, language, and numerical skills.

Programs Address:

  • Body Mapping
  • Individual Sensory Diet for home and/or school
  • Environment modification suggestions
  • Caregiver education and support
