Sensory Integration program

Sensory experiences include touch, movement, body awareness, sight, sound, smell, taste and the pull of gravity.  The process of the brain organising 

and interpreting this information is called Sensory Integration. 

Sensory Integration (SI) provides a crucial foundation for later, more complex learning and behaviour. For most Children, Sensory Integration develops in the 

course of ordinary childhood activities. 

Motor planning ability is a natural outcome of this process, as is the ability to adapt to incoming sensations.  But, for some children, sensory integration does not

 develop as efficiently as it should. 

When this process is disordered, a number of problems in learning, development and behaviour may become evident.

We at Sensitivity, use Sensory Integration Therapy in our huge therapy room full of suspended equipment, ball pool and various other multi-sensory play activities where a child directs the therapy, taking the lead and the therapists with their sound knowledge of Sensory Integration Principles guides through the activity to achieve modulated behaviour, appropriate motor planning skills and self-regulation.

Also, not all children with learning, developmental or behavioural problems have underlying sensory integration difficulties. 

There are certain indicators, however, that can signal a parent that such difficulties may be present. We assess the child to identify the affected Sensory areas and accordingly design the home plan. 

Involving the parent in the therapy sessions is the most important facet to our treatment.
