Sensory Processing

Sensory integration refers to our body's ability to take in the sensory-based information and use that information to experience success in the activities we do everyday. Sensory based challenges can look different for each child. For example, when this process isn't working as well as it should be, children may demonstrate difficulty with: 

  • comfort in busy environments

  • attention to activities

  • daily living skills such as dressing, brushing teeth, bathing, grooming and toileting

  • safely exploring their environments

  • frequent bumps or falls 

  • needing to constantly be on the move 

  • frustration with learning new activities
