Occupational Therapy will identify and improve difficulties that interfere with the child's potential for perform functional daily living skills and peer activities.  Direct treatment is provided along with consultation for carry over at home.  Our occupational therapists incorporate sensory integration and neurodevelopmental techniques specific to each child's needs.

 
 Sensory Integration Dysfunction occurs when one or more of our sensory systems have difficulties accurately processing environmental stimuli. The result may be subtle or it can be very disruptive for the child and family. A child with sensory processing difficulties may interpret a gentle touch as extremely invasive and react with “fight / fright / flight” reactions. Things that may be interpreted by others as pleasurable may be interpreted as painful to this child. Sensory Integration treatment can help this child to process sensory stimuli more accurately to allow for improved function and quality of life.

  Therapeutic listening techniques involve listening to specially filtered music through headphones. Children's Therapy Center uses The Listening Program (TLP), a home-based therapeutic listening program, to enhance speech, occupational and physical therapy programs. It is supervised by a trained authorized provider. The developers of The Listening Program (TLP) believe that therapeutic listening should be an ongoing process that can be repeated easily when appropriate. TLP is based on the philosophies of Dr. Alfred Tomatis. It is a music and sound stimulation method designed to retrain the auditory system. TLP is intensive enough to facilitate benefits and mild enough to minimize adverse responses. TLP helps children who exhibit attention difficulties, poor processing or retention of auditory information, receptive/expressive language difficulties, speech and/or language disorders secondary to history of ear infection or middle ear fluid, sound and movement hypersensitivities, and disorganization of combined complex skills.
