Sensory Integration
Sensory integration involves how brain process sensory information from the body and the environment that helps individuals make sense of the world around them! Just like superheroes have special abilities, our senses – like seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling – help us understand and interact with everything around us. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders might have some difficulty in processing sensory inputs. Sensory processing deficits may affect their motor skills, balance, and eye-hand coordination. Our Sensory integration certified therapists help kids with sensory processing issues by exposing them to different sensory stimulations in a structure way. They use fun games, activities, and exercises to help kids learn how to use their senses in the best way possible.
