What type of programs do you offer? We offer two multifaceted programs. The first is our computer lab that combines various types of software as well as touch monitors, eye-gaze technology, and numerous devices to facilitate learning and communication. The second is our multi-sensory stimulation environment where we approach sensory integration issues with various techniques to help enable the individual to interact with objects/textures etc… Both programs are designed with carryover in mind so that the individual can transfer the skills acquired here to other environments.
What is sensory integration? Sensory integration is the process of organizing sensory input so that the brain produces useful body responses. Research has shown that by allowing the individuals to interact with specialized activities, the individual can function more effectively in school or at a work site.
What is the age limit for participants? The age group is from 3 to 90.
How does sensory integration help? After an individual participates in the sensory activities, examples of observed changes have been increased focus and concentration. Alternatively, by implementing different activities, a state of relaxation is produced.
Do any of these programs really work? Yes. One example of the effectiveness of the program was an individuals expanded concentration from 15 minutes on task to 50 minutes. Another participant spoke in a full sentence for the first time.
