Sensory Integration Therapy
Nurturing Growth and Confidence with Sensory Integration Therapy
Sensory Integration Therapy is a specialized approach that helps individuals effectively process and respond to sensory information from their environment. Many children experience difficulties when their brain has trouble receiving and organizing sensory input, leading to challenges with coordination, attention, behavior, and emotional regulation. Sensory Integration Therapy works to improve how the brain interprets sensations, making everyday activities more manageable and enjoyable.
At Tender Touch Therapy, our Sensory Integration Therapy program is thoughtfully crafted to meet the unique sensory needs of each child. Our experienced therapists use play-based activities and specialized equipment to help children regulate their responses to sensory stimuli, enhance body awareness, and improve motor planning skills. Through personalized care and a nurturing environment, we empower children to participate more fully in school, home, and community life with greater confidence and comfort.
