Sensory Integration

Sensory Integration
Sensory Integration is a neurological reaction that organizes one’s own body and sensations from the environment and makes it possible to use the body in harmony with the environment.(Ayres, 1988) It is a theory and practice introduced by A. Jean Ayres. We can define it as the ability to process and internally integrate sensory information from one’s body and environment. Sensory information can be visual, auditory, tactile, proprioceptive and/or vestibular. It uses individually designed activities that use the ‘right’ challenges to the individual’s existing sensory processing and motor planning patterns and encourage self-movement and organization in time and space. Sensory integration sessions incorporate specialized equipment and materials into purposeful and fun activities to promote adaptive behavior. They are delivered by trained therapists, including occupational therapists, physiotherapists and speech-language pathologists, and take place in specially designed clinical settings that offer a safe and sensory-rich experience.

What are the outcomes?
What should you expect from Zatay Health specialization?
Let's explore together your child's strengths and areas that need strengthening. We encourage you to use our Program Matching Tool and identify options based on what your child is experiencing.
Once you register your child for our program, they attend weekly sessions with our therapists. Our evidence-based play and therapy approaches address a variety of conditions including Developmental Coordination Disorder (Dyspraxia), Autism, Anxiety, Motor Development Delays, Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, and Neuropsychiatric and Genetic conditions.
We plan the process together from the beginning to the end and monitor the development through our interdisciplinary work. Their skills and the goals we set will continue to develop over time. Growing up is a painful path, so we attach great importance to periodic follow-ups throughout development.

Frequently Asked Questions
If my child has special needs, can he/she also participate in Therapeutic Hammock (Aerial) Yoga classes?
There are specific behavioral goals that a child must meet in an aerial yoga class in order for each student and staff member to have a safe and beneficial experience. Depending on your child's specific needs, they may need to remain in occupational therapy until their behavior meets the required expectations.
How is the initial evaluation process done?
The initial assessment measures problem behaviors, adaptive skills, sensory processing and executive functioning. When you book an assessment, we will ask you to complete an intake form. Once your form has been received and reviewed, we will contact you via email for insurance verification and proceed with the assessment. This assessment will be a comprehensive assessment consisting of standardized tests, observations, reflex assessment and parent report measures. A meeting will then be scheduled for a full review of our findings.
