Sensory-integration occupational therapy treatment sessions
Private: We offer private occupational therapy using sensory-integration techniques rich in vestibular, proprioceptive, and tactile inputs -- areas where many children with neurological issues have deficits. The approach encourages children’s nervous systems to process and integrate sensory input in organized and meaningful ways. As their adaptive responses provide feedback, their nervous systems mature and organize at increasingly higher levels. Ultimately, the children can interact with – and adapt to -- their environment more successfully.
Private, Intensive: Some children need intensive sessions 3-5 times a week for a short period of time. These intensive sessions are sometimes coupled with auditory programs. Children are given breaks with no therapy following these intensives to allow changes to occur.
Semi-Private: Therapy sessions can also be done with two children and one therapist appropriately matched to add a new dimension to treatment and to help work on social skills. This is a great idea for children who excel in one-on-one situations, but have a difficult time within a group setting. Typically, a semi-private session is considered after a child first has received individual therapy to address foundational-level skills.
