Sensory Integration

Enhancing Daily Life Through Sensory Integration Therapy

Sensory Integration Therapy (SIT) helps individuals who struggle to process sensory information, impacting their ability to engage in everyday activities. Often used for children with conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), SIT also benefits those with learning disabilities, intellectual challenges, behavioral disorders, and developmental delays. Additionally, adults—especially those diagnosed later in life with developmental conditions—can find relief through this therapeutic approach, improving their sensory responses and overall well-being.

Specifically, individuals who may benefit from SIT include:

• Sensory Processing Disorder:

  SIT is often used to help children with sensory processing difficulties, which can manifest as oversensitivity or under-responsiveness to certain sensory inputs.

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD):

  A significant percentage of children with ASD experience sensory processing difficulties, making SIT a valuable tool for managing sensory symptoms.

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD):

  Some individuals with ADHD may also have sensory processing difficulties, and SIT can be helpful in addressing these challenges.

• Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) and Motor Skill Delays:

  SIT can assist children with DCD and other motor skill delays by improving their ability to process and integrate sensory information, leading to improved coordination and movement.

• Anxiety and Emotional Regulation:

  SIT can also help children manage anxiety and improve emotional regulation by providing a safe and supportive environment for exploring and processing sensory information.

• Other Conditions:

  SIT may also be beneficial for individuals with acquired brain injuries, learning difficulties, and mood disorders.
