Sensory integration problems, sensory processing problems and the effects of these problems on daily life activities are evaluated by considering sensory systems before therapy.
In therapy, first of all, the child’s intrinsic motivation should be balanced, the child should actively participate and be able to tolerate stimuli. Active participation of the child always facilitates learning. The information learnt during communication and play is easily adapted to daily life activities. Sensory stimuli are always planned using sensory strategies according to the individual needs of the child and the appropriate sensory diet is selected. Each child is different from each other and shows different sensory characteristics. Therefore, there are different intervention plans.
