Autism’s symptoms often include difficulty processing sensory information such as textures, sounds, smells, tastes, brightness and movement. These difficulties can make ordinary situations feel overwhelming. As such, they can interfere with daily function and even isolate individuals and their families.
Studies have backed up parent reports that Sensory Integration therapy improves daily function in children with autism*. Sensory integration is the ability to capture information through the senses and meaningfully process that data in the mind. Some children need sensory integration therapy because they have a dysfunctional sensory integration system, where one or more of the senses over- or under-react to environment stimuli.
This month's seminar will tackle:
- sensory integration from both the point of view of a parent and professional.
- identifying between behavioral and sensory breakdown
- how sensory integration can assist in the classroom and at home
- different stressors or triggers and how to cope and or adjust accordingly
- how early intervention can make a big difference in socialization and in school.
- the pros and cons of drug interventions.
