Sensory Integration Therapy in Adelaide: We Will Help In Your Child's Sensory Information Processing to Respond Correctly In Their Surroundings
Sensory integration therapy in Adelaide is one of the offerings at Bridging Potentials. Devised to help individuals process sensory information and respond to them correctly and to their environment, SIT is frequently used by occupational therapists to treat children who have conditions affecting their sensory processing capabilities like autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and developmental delays.
At Bridging Potentials, we have a variety of activities for our sensory integration therapy that challenge the senses of the individual or the child. Administered by licensed and experienced occupational therapists, SIT activities include exercises designed to stimulate the senses such as sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. Ultimately, these exercises will help them manage their sensory stimulation and respond fittingly to their environment.
SIT has been found to help improve the individual’s ability to participate in daily activities like socialising, playing, and learning, among other things. As such, it is very important for parents to find the right clinic that will help their children overcome their physical and sensory challenges. Bridging Potentials is here for you and your child. We conduct a variety of capacity assessments to determine the kind of therapy suitable for them and the number of sessions they will need.
Sensory Integration Therapy in Adelaide: Sensory Integration Techniques
Bridging Potentials uses techniques in its sessions for sensory integration therapy in Adelaide. These techniques include, but are not limited to, the following:
Sensory-based Play. Designed to let the child explore and familiarise themselves with new visuals, sounds, textures, scents, motion patterns, and the like, sensory-based play is a playtime session that allows them to tap their motor and communication skills as they build their self-confidence.
Therapeutic Exercises. These are exercises that our occupational therapists use to help your child regulate their sensitivity to stimuli, improve communication skills, achieve a sense of balance, and more. Therapeutic exercises include deep pressure, speech and language, vision, and vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT), among others.
Environmental Modifications. Depending on the sensory sensitivity of the child, their environment may need to be adjusted to be able to adapt to external stimuli. For example, if your child has an overly reactive sense of smell, modifications to his environment can be done to minimise the intensity of odours and scents around them.
Sensory Diet. This is a collection of treatments, exercises, activities, accommodations, and recommendations that will help your child control or regulate sensory inputs and responses. It’s a holistic approach to addressing your child’s sensory processing disorder. This is customised based on your child’s needs. As such, close collaboration is needed between you or your child’s caregiver and our occupational therapist to be able to identify which senses to target and to set goals for them.
