At Shama Foundation Rehabilitation Centre, we believe that every child experiences the world in their own unique way. For children with physical and mental challenges, the way their brain processes sensory information—like sound, touch, movement, and sight—can often be overwhelming, confusing, or under-responsive. That’s where Sensory Integration Therapy comes in.

What Is Sensory Integration Therapy?

Sensory Integration Therapy is a specialized form of therapy that helps children who have difficulties processing and responding to sensory input.

These challenges are common in children with:

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
  • Cerebral Palsy
  • ADHD
  • Developmental Delays
  • Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)

This therapy works by gradually and gently exposing a child to sensory stimulation in a structured, safe, and engaging environment. Through repetitive, playful activities, the brain learns to better understand and respond to sensory information.

How It Helps

At Shama Foundation, Sensory Integration Therapy is not just about stimulation—it’s about transformation. Here’s what it can do:

Improves Focus and Attention

  • Children who struggle to sit still or stay engaged during learning or therapy often benefit from sensory-based techniques.

Reduces Overreactions or Underreactions

  • Some children may be extremely sensitive to light, noise, or touch, while others may not respond at all. Therapy helps balance these responses.

Enhances Motor Skills and Coordination

  • By integrating movement-based activities, children improve balance, posture, and hand-eye coordination.

Builds Confidence and Emotional Regulation

  • As children gain control over their sensory responses, they also gain confidence, leading to reduced frustration and emotional outbursts.

Our Approach to Sensory Therapy

At Shama Foundation Rehabilitation Centre, we provide sensory integration therapy as part of a holistic care plan. Here’s what makes our approach special:

Personalized Programs

  • Every child is unique. Our therapists assess each child’s sensory profile and design activities tailored to their specific needs.

Child-Friendly Environment

  • We use swings, ball pits, textured mats, lights, music, and other safe, interactive tools to create a playful and engaging space that encourages sensory learning.

Trained, Compassionate Experts

  • Our team is skilled not just in therapy, but in building trust with children and families, ensuring every session is filled with patience and encouragement.

Parental Involvement

  • We believe in walking this journey together. Parents are guided on how to continue sensory-rich activities at home, reinforcing progress outside the clinic.

Signs Your Child May Benefit from Sensory Integration Therapy

  • Avoids or craves certain textures, sounds, or movements
  • Struggles with balance, coordination, or posture
  • Easily overwhelmed in noisy or crowded environments
  • Shows unusually high or low pain sensitivity
  • Has trouble concentrating or sitting still
  • Experiences frequent meltdowns or emotional distress
