About Sensory Integration Therapy
Sensory integration therapy uses play and movement to help children who find sensory input, such as sound, touch or movement, overwhelming or hard to register, to respond more comfortably.
It is commonly used for children with autism or ADHD. Evidence for benefit varies, so combine it with other therapies and set clear, measurable goals.
