Sensory Integration Therapy

Helping children process and respond to sensory information for better participation in daily life. Sensory integration therapy supports children who struggle with processing touch, movement, body awareness, and other sensory input, leading to improved behavior, attention, and self-regulation. Our specialized approach uses play-based activities in our sensory gym or adapted environments to help children develop the sensory processing skills they need for learning, social interactions, and daily activities. From tactile defensiveness to vestibular challenges, we create individualized sensory diets and strategies that work at home, school, and in the community.
