DOWNLOAD SERVICE GUIDE

Occupational Therapy enables people of all ages to participate in daily life.

Daily life is made up of different activities (occupations). Children’s occupations include: self-care (toileting, dressing, washing), learning (nursery or school) and play (interest, friends, hobbies).

Occupational Therapists look at the child’s ability to engage in occupations and provide support and intervention to help them do what they need and want to do.

What is Sensory Integration?

Sensory Integration (SI) is part of normal development. It allows us to use information from our senses to interact with our environment which helps us do things such as getting dressed, socialising, playing and learning.

If there is a problem with how we process sensory information then engaging in daily life can become challenging. For example:

• Distress with self-care activities such as washing, tooth brushing, hair brushing
• Excessive need for intense movement (swinging, jumping, rocking, spinning)
• Poor organisational skills of themselves and their environment
• Difficulties managing their energy levels throughout the day
• Poor concentration and attention impacting on learning
• Excessively cautious about trying new activities
• Under or over reactive to lights, sounds, smell, movement, touch impacting on functioning
• Clumsy, awkward or accident prone
• Difficulties with toileting

Our SI trained Occupational Therapists will collect information about the child’s strengths and difficulties in completing daily activities.

Families may be asked to complete questionnaires and take part in standardised assessments in our purpose built, fully equipped Sensory Integration room.
