Sensory integration therapy is a type of occupational therapy that helps individuals, especially children, who have difficulty processing and responding to sensory information. This therapy is based on the idea that some children experience sensory input—such as touch, sound, movement, or light—differently, which can affect their behavior, coordination, attention, and ability to learn. Through structured, play-based activities designed by a trained therapist, sensory integration therapy aims to help the brain better organize and respond to sensory stimuli in a more appropriate and manageable way. It is commonly used for children with sensory processing disorder (SPD), autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and other developmental conditions. The goal is to improve the child’s ability to participate in everyday activities by enhancing their sensory regulation, motor planning, and overall functional skills.
