What kinds of Sensory Processing Disorder do you treat in occupational therapy?
Types of diagnosis we see that involving sensory processing include: ADHD, Sensory Processing disorder, High Functioning Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia (difficulty motor planning, difficulty learning, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, Aspergers (ASD), and Sensory Processing Disorders. Kids without a formal diagnosis are often evaluated to see if there are missing developmental milestones that may be contributing to difficulty in reading, vision, math, handwriting, or emotional regulation. They are seen as infants, toddlers, children, and teens depending on when their problems develop.
Kids may need sensory therapy to be able to focus and learn. Sensory skills can affect vision, hearing, touch, movement and emotional regulation.
Sensory Soothers (TM) Program: Sun Kids Occupational Therapy has been on the cutting edge of Sensory Integration, developing the Sensory Soothing Program for families and children in need. Blending the Sensory Integration theory of Jean Ayres and her personal experiences with the iRest theory of Richard Miller, occupational therapist Melissa Misra, MOT, OTR/L found that once she helped children understand what is meant to be focused, they needed additional skills in order to flourish given their new levels of awareness internally. They needed to stay present to the sensations they were experiencing while interacting at a new level of awareness with the external world. Sensory Soothing provides children and young adults with the tools they need to feel calm , confident and empowered in their world. Sensory Soothing provides children the steps to their own success.
The Sensory Soothers Program is provided for kids with sensory processing disorders at Sun Kids Occupational Therapy Pittsburgh.
