Can you explain, in brief, what Sensory Integration is and what sessions entail?

Occupational therapy is a health profession whose goal is to help people achieve independence, meaning and satisfaction in all aspects of their lives. Occupational therapists (OT’s) apply their specific knowledge to enable people to engage in activities of daily living that have personal meaning and value.

As a specialist trained sensory integration occupational therapist I use play to enable the child to find what makes them feel just right. If there is any reason why a child cannot achieve something the reason could be physical, emotional or sensory therefore it is my job to peel back the layers of the onion to see what is inhibiting progress. Children who attend sensory integration clinics will have opportunities to play on swings,
