What is Sensory Integration Therapy?
Sensory Integration Therapy is a specialized approach based on the understanding that some individuals may be either “overstimulated” or “understimulated” by their environment due to dysfunctional sensory processing. The therapy aims to enhance the brain’s ability to process sensory information effectively, ultimately enabling the child to participate more actively in daily activities and improve overall functioning.
Addressing Sensory Challenges
Children and adults with autism often experience difficulties with their sensory systems. Some individuals may have over-reactive senses, becoming overwhelmed by everyday stimuli, while others may have under-reactive senses, leading to a lack of responsiveness to certain sensory inputs. These sensory issues can manifest in behaviors like rocking, spinning, and hand-flapping.
The Root of the Issue
While the receptors for the senses are located in the peripheral nervous system, it is believed that the underlying cause of these sensory challenges lies in neurological dysfunction in the central nervous system—the brain. Our Sensory Integration Therapy is designed to address these neurological issues, helping individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities improve their sensory processing and responses.
