Sensory integration is a neurophysiological process by which the central nervous system receives, processes, and organizes information from the senses (vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste, vestibular and proprioceptive systems) to produce purposeful and coordinated responses and behavior.

Difficulties with sensory integration may result in hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity to sensory stimuli, as well as challenges with coordination, attention, self-care, learning, and social interaction.

Indications for sensory integration therapy may include:

• Hypersensitivity or lack of sensitivity to sounds, light, touch

• Difficulties with motor coordination and balance

• Delays in speech and cognitive development

• Learning difficulties, including reading and writing challenges

• Problems with focus, impulsivity, or fatigue

• Difficulties with social relationships

• Diagnoses such as autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, cerebral palsy, or other neurological or behavioral conditions

The service includes:

• Individual assessment and therapy planning

• Sensory integration sessions in a specially equipped environment (sensory room)

• Activities that stimulate and regulate various sensory systems through movement, touch, sound, and visual input

• Development of self-regulation, attention, and spatial perception

• Involvement of parents and caregivers in the therapeutic process

• Collaboration with other professionals (psychologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists) as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation plan

The goal of sensory integration therapy is to improve the individual’s ability to function and interact within their environment, support independence, self-regulation, and learning, and reduce sensory-related stress or anxiety.
