Sensory Integration helps children whose nervous systems over-react (sensory avoiders) or under-react (sensory seekers) to sounds, textures, movement, or light. Through purposeful activities in our specialized sensory gym, children learn to process sensations calmly and stay focused.
OT targets the underlying foundation: core posture, hand-arch strength, finger isolation, and visual-motor integration. We use therapeutic putty, precision pinching games, and ergonomic pencil grips to make writing comfortable and legible.
Yes. Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as dressing, using utensils, managing zippers, tying shoes, and brushing teeth are broken down into achievable, step-by-step motor sequences practiced until mastery.
A Sensory Diet is a personalized schedule of physical and sensory activities (such as gentle bouncing, deep pressure squishes, or quiet corner breaks) designed for parents to use throughout the day to prevent sensory meltdowns.
OT can start as early as 18 months for sensory sensitivities or gross motor delays, and continues through school age for coordination, handwriting, and social regulation.
