Sensory Processing
Good sensory processing is the basis for all other skills. The ability to take in information effectively through the body senses is vital to the ability to make sense of the physical and symbolic world. Occupational therapists help children who are over or under sensitive to stimuli around them. This helps them listen better, eat better, sleep better, and socialize better.
