Understanding Sensory Integration
Sensory Integration represents the brain’s ability to handle sensory messages coming from touch systems and movement-based systems, including body position systems. Our team works with children to enhance their sensory processing abilities. We focus on Sensory Systems like Tactile (touch), Vestibular (movement), Proprioceptive (body position).
Sensory Integration Therapy
Communication skill enhancement involves a variety of techniques to improve how you express yourselves and understand others:
- Goal : To assist individuals in dealing with sensory information and add to their participation in daily life.
- Activities: Involves swinging, climbing, manipulating textured materials, etc.
- Benefits: Improves attention, concentration, coordination, communication, and socialisation.
Enhancing Fine Motor Skill Development
The process of improving small hand movements, which leads to achieving abilities like handwriting, buttoning a shirt, using utensils, etc., is known as Fine Motor Skill Development. Through personally designed interventions, our therapists assist people to enhance coordination along with dexterity to achieve greater independence.
Common interventions include:
- Precision tasks : Activities such as using tweezers or drawing.
