Children who have sensory issues that interfere with learning and daily living skills, and/ or need strategies that will improve their motor skills to enable more effective functioning.
Areas of intervention include providing an individualized sensory ‘diet’ (activities to help with sensory issues); activities to develop life skills, motor skills, coordination and hand functions; and training and providing home based programmes for the family to carry out some necessary activities in the home environment. The sessions comprise a combination of activities to help in integrating the senses, developing motor coordination, and some ‘table top’ work.
