Sensory Therapy

Sensory therapy is a part of occupational therapy. This kind of therapy may be helpful if your child struggles in the following areas: movement and balance, self-feedback, visual impairment, and response to noises.

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.
