Sensory Integration Therapy (SI)
Sensory Integration Therapy in Qatar
Understanding Sensory Integration Therapy
Sensory Integration Therapy is based on the understanding that children with special needs may be either over-stimulated or under-stimulated by their environment. It aims to support the brain’s ability to process and respond appropriately to sensory information, helping children participate more effectively in daily activities.
Sensory Processing and Integration
Through structured activities involving touch, smell, taste, sight, hearing, movement, and balance, therapists help children process sensory information and develop more appropriate responses to their surroundings.
Feedback Assisted Therapy (FAT)
As part of an individualized approach, Feedback Assisted Therapy (FAT) may also be incorporated to provide guided feedback that supports motor planning, coordination, body awareness, engagement, and functional skills.
Therapeutic tools can be physical in nature, such as trampoline or pedaling a bicycle, or mental in nature, such as participation or skill challenges.
Supporting Daily Activities and Emotional Regulation
Sensory integration approaches may also help address challenges related to attention, play, emotional regulation, and repetitive behaviors, supporting children in participating more successfully in everyday activities.
Sensory integration uses two types of tools
- Assessment tools used to measure someone’s sensory integration
- Therapeutic tools used to improve symptoms of sensory dysfunction
What happens during sensory integration is that trained occupational therapists aim to help people improve their sensory symptoms by using various therapeutic tools in a clinical setting, with the goal of:
- Stimulating the senses through sensory input
- Challenging fine and gross motor planning
- Encouraging movement of the body
- Developing new adaptive behaviors and responses
