Sensory Integration Therapy Sydney
What is Sensory Based Intervention?
Many children with and without diagnoses struggle with their sensory modulation. Some may have a diagnosis of sensory processing disorder, others may experience some sensory sensitivity or may present with attention and behavioural concerns due to sensory modulation difficulties.
Our experienced occupational therapists can provide skilled assessment and intervention for these children within our state of the art sensorimotor gym and individual therapy rooms. Sensory intervention is great fun for children all whilst changing their neurological pathways for effective results. Our occupational therapists will also provide behavioural intervention where necessary to address learned behaviours.
Children (infants to 18 years) who will benefit from this intervention include those with:
- Sensory processing disorder
- Autism Spectrum Disorder
- Sensory sensitivities or sensory defensiveness
- Attention or behavioural issues
- Neurological disorders where sensory exploration has been limited
- Developmental disability
- Vision and hearing impairment.

These problems may include difficulty with the following:
Sensory Integration is the body and brain’s ability to recognise, process, and organise sensory information through touch, movement, body awareness, sight, sound, smell, tastes, and the pull of gravity. Sensory Integration develops through childhood experiences, however many children with and without diagnoses struggle with their ability to process the sensory environment.
Signs indicating difficulty processing sensory integration:
- Does not notice certain sensations (e.g. not noticing name being called, being touched, and high pain threshold).
- Is a picky eater and becomes distressed during self-care tasks (e.g. hair-brushing, hair-washing, nail cutting, dressing, tying shoe laces, self-feeding)
- Loves movement and seeks out intense pressure (e.g. constant spinning, running around, jumping, crashing in objects/people)
- Is easily distracted, shows poor attention and concentration
- Constantly bumping into objects, appearing clumsy and difficulty coordinating movements.
- Has difficulty regulating their own behavioural and emotional responses; increased tantrums, emotionally reactive, need for control, impulsive behaviours.
