Individualized Occupational Therapy

STEP TWO
PROVIDE OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Occupational therapy (OT) using Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) model is rendered individually in our very well equipped gym-like clinic environment. We have a variety of ways to suspend equipment to provide vestibular sensory information. A large selection of swings and ways to move their bodies are available to children. Proprioceptive activities, those that include heavy work, climbing and jumping are provided using equipment such as a rope wall, a rock climbing wall, ladders, a variety of bolsters of various shapes and sized to build with and climb on. Tactile materials of a wide variety including ball pits, a bean box and one with packing popcorn offer a variety of ways for a child to immerse their bodies in tactile activities. Bins with other tactile media such as rice, popcorn, macaroni allow for little fingers to find eggs or sea creatures immersed in the media. Activities that include visual perception and those that focus on visual motor abilities while the child is engaged in movement are used. Some children use a listening program (iLs) while engaged in therapy which helps with decreasing auditory sensitivity and improving vestibular function. The clinic has equipment to challenge motor planning and age appropriate motor skills. Many activities incorporate bilateral, upper and lower body parts. Because children are able to interact with each other while engaged in their individual therapy programs, these provide opportunities for social participation, learning empathy, taking turns and a variety of other social skills.

OUR GOALS

Each child’s therapy program is individualized to reach their therapy goals. Specific therapy goals are established for each child based on evaluation results, clinical observations, and parent concerns; however, the overall goals of therapy for every child are to improve sensory processing, motor performance, and social participation, and increase level of function, and facilitate the acquisition of daily living skills.
