The ability to understand and coordinate our senses helps us organize our world and build a strong foundation for learning. Difficulty with sensory input may affect behavior, learning, social skills, motor skills and life skills.
Every child grows and develops at his or her own pace. Sometimes, additional help is needed in order for your child to reach developmental milestones. The earlier a challenge is addressed, the better the future success for your child.
Each child’s sensory system receives input in a different way. The ability to understand and coordinate our senses helps us organize our world and build a strong foundation for learning. Difficulty with sensory input may affect behavior, learning, social skills, motor skills and life skills. Through sensory integration therapy, Occupational Therapists change how the brain and body respond to our senses of touch, sound, sight, and movement. Children participate in therapy sessions designed to address their specific sensory needs through exercises and play-based activities.
Children with the following issues or concerns may benefit from sensory integration therapy at PNE:
If you have concerns or feel your child would benefit from feeding therapy, please contact our office to schedule an evaluation for your child.
If your child is between the ages of birth to three, our therapists would be happy to provide services in your home or daycare through Indiana’s First Steps program. Please visit the First Steps website https://indianafirststeps.org/ or call (260) 444-2994 to refer your child for a free evaluation. PLEASE NOTE: For some children with feeding difficulties, outpatient therapy may be recommended.
