Sensory Integration
Here at A Total Approach we see Sensory Integration as the
underlying process of all of our interventions. In order for the child to
develop higher order thinking and learning performance, the child has to develop
certain neuro-developmental pathways. Sensory Integration is mostly a "bottom
up" approach, where we attempt to assist the child in developing more efficient
coping strategies inside his / her nervous system, while also working at changing
nervous system circuitry to develop a more functional adaptive response to the
environment in the child.
