Sensory Processing
Our team views Sensory Processing as the underlying process of all of our interventions. Jean Ayers has started a framework that continues to develop today through the work of professionals such as Dr. Lucy Miller and others. The central nervous system starts the development of all other systems such as motor and language development. Starting a treatment program while considering the individual's ability to process sensory information, is vital to the successful outcome of our treatment plans.
- In order for the child to develop higher order thinking and learning performance, the child has to develop certain neuro-developmental pathways.
- Sensory Processing is mostly a "bottom up" approach
- Developing more efficient coping strategies inside the child's nervous system
- Changing nervous system circuitry to develop a more functional adaptive response to the environment in the child.
- Developmental approach, also considering play, intrinsic motivation and child led intervention
- Much emphasis on empowering and assisting parents in the home environment
- Very current research available from prominent professionals such as Dr. Roseann Schaaf, Dr. Lucy Miller and Dr. Winnie Dunn.
