Sensory Integration Therapy: Helping Children Process Sensory Information

Sensory Integration Therapy is a therapeutic approach designed to help children who have difficulty processing and responding to sensory information from their environment. The therapy uses playful, structured activities to help children better understand and organize sensory input, leading to improved functioning in daily life.

Sensory integration refers to the process by which the brain receives, organizes, and responds to information from the senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell). Children with sensory processing disorders may find it hard to respond to sensory stimuli appropriately, which can affect their behavior, development, and learning.

Who Can Benefit from Sensory Integration Therapy?

Sensory Integration Therapy is commonly recommended for children with conditions that impact sensory processing, such as:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)
• Developmental Delays
• Cerebral Palsy
• Learning Disabilities
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Down’s Syndrome

The Importance of a Sensory-Friendly Environment:

Therapists create a calm and controlled environment for the child, where they can safely explore different sensory activities. The goal is to gently challenge the child’s sensory system without overwhelming them, gradually increasing the intensity as they build tolerance.

Sensory Integration Therapy is a powerful tool in helping children who struggle with processing sensory information. At Sampoorn, we provide individualized therapy programs that are tailored to meet the specific needs of each child, empowering them to thrive in everyday life and improve their sensory integration skills.
