Sensory Integration Therapy
Have you ever noticed a child covering their ears when they hear loud noises, refusing to wear certain clothes, or being overly anxious in crowded places?
These aren't just "thoughts" - they are symptoms of sensory processing difficulties. At Revivisense Rehabilitation Institute, Sensory Integration Therapy (SIT) helps children learn to process, adapt, and thrive in a world filled with sensory information.
1. What Is Sensory Integration?
Sensory integration is the brain's ability to absorb, organize, and respond to information from the environment. Our senses - sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, balance (vestibular), and body awareness (proprioception) - work together to guide everyday activities.
When this process is affected, children may have difficulty paying attention, coordinating, controlling emotions, or learning new skills.
2. Why do some children struggle?Children with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, or other developmental challenges often face sensory processing disorder (SPD).
For them, everyday experiences like brushing their teeth, putting on socks, or joining a classroom can be overwhelming. Some people may be hypersensitive (oversensitive), avoiding touch or sounds, while others may be hyposensitive (under sensitive), constantly seeking out movement, pressure or noise. Both forms can affect learning, behavior, and social development.
3. The role of sensory integration therapySensory integration therapy isn't about "fixing" a child - it's about helping them engage with the world in a safe,comfortable, and empowering way. At Revivisense, trained occupational therapists use structured, play-based activities tostimulate and balance the senses. Therapy sessions are engaging, enjoyable, and personalized to each child's needs.
4. What happens in a sensory integration session?Entering a sensory integration therapy room, you might think you're in a play zone - with swings, trampolines, climbing walls, tunnelsand structure mats. But there's science behind the play:Swinging & Spinning → Improves balance and vestibular processing.Weighted blankets & squeeze tools → Provide calming input for children who are feeling restless.Obstacle exercises & climbing → develop motor planning and coordination.Textured toys & tactile tubs → help reduce tactile sensitivity.Sound and visual games → Train auditory and visual processing.Each activity is carefully selected to strengthen the child's sensory system, while keeping therapy fun and engaging.
5. Benefits of Sensory Integration Therapy
The impact of SIT goes beyond the treatment rooms - it changes everyday life. Parents often notice:
- Better focus and attention in school.
- Decreased melting in noisy or crowded environments.
- Advanced motor skills - running, jumping, writing, or getting dressed.
- Increased confidence and willingness to try new activities.
- Calm demeanor and excellent emotional control.
- Increased independence in self-care routines (eating, bathing, dressing).
Over time, children gain not only sensory balance, but also greater self-esteem and a joy in participating.
6. Why is there a renaissance for sensory integration?
What makes Reviviscence unique is not just the therapeutic tools – it is the philosophy of open transparency and parent collaboration. Parents can observe sessions at home, understand strategies, and repeat exercises. This ensures consistency and accelerates progress. Moreover, treatment is evidence-based, goal-oriented, and continuously monitored through reviews and evaluations. Each program is personalized - because no two children experience the sensory world in the same way. 7. Beyond Therapy: Creating a Sensory Lifestyle
SIT doesn't just stop at the hospital. Parents learn to create sensory-friendly environments at home and at school. At Reviviscence, therapists guide families with practical tips that help them extend their progress to real-world settings.
