Functional Sensory Therapy
Sensory Integration Therapy is considered one of the most important modern approaches in rehabilitating children of determination. It helps improve the child’s responses to sensory stimuli and supports their behavioral and cognitive development.
What is Sensory Integration Therapy?
It is a therapeutic program that focuses on regulating children’s reactions to different stimuli such as touch, sound, movement, and smells, helping them interact better with their surrounding environment.
Benefits of Sensory Integration Therapy:
- Improves focus and attention.
- Reduces hyperactivity or over-responsiveness to stimuli.
- Supports communication and learning skills.
- Enhances balance and fine motor skills.
- Helps children overcome challenges related to eating, sleeping, or dressing caused by sensory sensitivities.

- Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
- Children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
- Cases of Sensory Processing Disorders.
- Children facing difficulties with balance or motor coordination.

How It Works ?
- Comprehensive sensory processing assessment
- Customized “sensory diet” plan with daily activities
- Functional task practice (e.g., dressing, playground play)
- Adaptive equipment recommendations (e.g., therapy swings)
- Parent coaching on carry-over at home
Through personalized sensory maps and engaging functional activities, students develop improved motor planning and balance. Family coaching ensures consistent home practice, reinforcing gains and translating clinic success into confidence and independence across daily environments.
Our therapists implement adaptive sensory interventions paired with practical life tasks, fostering neural integration and self-regulation. Regular progress assessments guide plan modifications, ensuring each student experiences measurable improvements in coordination, focus, and emotional well-being.
