Sensory Integration Therapy

Welcome to New Leaf Development Center! We are thrilled to share with you the transformative benefits of sensory integration therapy for children with sensory-related challenges. Therapy sessions are play-oriented and may include using equipment such as swings, trampolines, and slides. Sensory integration also uses therapies such as deep pressure, brushing, weighted vests, and swinging. These therapies appear to sometimes be able to calm an anxious child. Sensory integration is mainly an intervention for children with developmental and behavioral disorders. The activities included in SI provide vestibular, proprioceptive, auditory, and tactile stimuli, which in turn organize the sensory system.

Understanding Sensory Integration

Sensory Integration refers to the brain’s ability to organize and make sense of the information it receives from our senses (touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing) and our body’s movements. For some children, this process may be disrupted, leading to difficulties in processing sensory information effectively. This disruption can manifest in various ways, such as hypersensitivity (over-responsiveness) or hyposensitivity (under-responsiveness) to sensory stimuli.

How Sensory Integration Therapy Helps

Sensory Integration therapy aims to improve the way the brain processes and responds to sensory information. It involves structured activities that stimulate the senses, such as swinging, bouncing on therapy balls, playing in sand or water, and engaging in activities that provide deep pressure or proprioceptive. These activities are conducted basis the need specification of the child and are designed and executed to address the needs of the child.

How Can Benefit from Sensory Integration Therapy

Better Sensory Processing: The therapy helps children better regulate their responses to sensory input, leading to improved attention, focus, and emotional regulation.

Enhanced Motor Skills: By engaging in activities that stimulate different senses, children can develop better coordination, balance, and motor planning.

Self-Regulation: Children learn to self-soothe and manage their emotions by developing coping strategies for sensory challenges.

Better Social Interaction: Improved sensory processing can lead to increased comfort and confidence in social situations and cooperative play.

Support for Learning and Development: When sensory processing is more efficient, children can engage more effectively in learning activities, leading to improved academic performance.
