Sensory Integration

This process helps children respond appropriately, learn, and interact with the world. For most children, it develops naturally through everyday experiences. For some, difficulties in processing lead to Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). Children with SPD may be overly or under responsive to input, struggle with attention, regulation, coordination, or social skills. An occupational therapist can evaluate these challenges and, if needed, provide therapy that uses structured sensory activities. Treatment strengthens the nervous system, supports adaptive responses, and builds a foundation for learning, development, and self-esteem.
