Sensory Integration Therapy
Empowering Children Through Enhanced Sensory Processing
About Sensory Integration Therapy at Ashoka
Ashoka’s Sensory Integration Therapy is a personalized and evidence-based approach designed to help children overcome sensory processing challenges. Our therapy targets the fundamental sensory systems that influence movement, behavior, and overall well-being.
Understanding Sensory Integration
The sensory integration framework consists of eight sensory systems, with three playing a critical role in sensory processing challenges:
- Tactile System – Helps recognize touch, pressure, texture, and temperature.
- Proprioceptive System – Provides awareness of body position and movement through muscles and joints.
- Vestibular System – Located in the inner ear, responsible for balance, coordination, and spatial orientation.
Children experiencing sensory processing dysfunction may display:
✔ Sensory Modulation Challenges – Over- or under-reacting to sensory input.
✔ Sensory Discrimination Difficulties – Struggling to distinguish between different sensory inputs.
✔ Sensory-Based Motor Challenges – Difficulty in movement coordination and body stabilization.
At Ashoka’s Sensory Integration Therapy, we recognize these diverse challenges and offer customized interventions to improve sensory processing, enhancing focus, motor skills, and emotional regulation.
