As adults, we are able to concentrate on or experience more than one sense at a time (touch, smell, sight, etc.). It is necessary for us to use these senses to determine how to react to our environment or certain situations. Children with cerebral palsy, autism, or Down's Syndrome aren't always able to do this.
Sensory Integration Therapy encourages the child to experience their senses through playful activities. It helps children experience touch, sound, movement, and balance but, does it, in a non-threatening environment.
In Part One of this in-depth look at Sensory Integration Therapy, Occupational Therapist, Jean Davison, discusses what it is and who it benefits. We also experience the therapy through the actions of a child.
