Sensory Integration clinic treatment

 Children with sensory integration problems often do not get enough of the right kinds of stimulation at home or school to effectively organise their brain.

Sensory integration clinic treatment aims to provide the right physical and emotional environment so children with sensory integration problems can explore their environment and get the right kind of stimulation to enhance brain organisation and growth.

A typical session is a child-led playful exploration of the "sensory gym", which has been set up by the therapist according to the needs of the child. The therapist's role is to  facilitate the child to explore and have mastery of all equipment and activities in a joyful, playful interaction at the "just right challenge" (an activity or task that is neither too hard nor too easy).

Through this process, the child learns mastery of his or her body and environment and sensory integration is enhanced. Both the child and the parents learn about what is helpful for the child and the journey to recovery continues at home.
