WHAT WE DO

We create a safe and fun environment for your child (or you! We work with adults, too.) to learn to do things you can't imagine right now. We work carefully with families to help achieve and eventually, exceed your goals.

HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT

We are an occupational therapy facility that focuses on relationships and child driven play skills. We use sensory integration to help children relate to others and complete the daily living activities of children in a fun and motivating manner. We think the most important goals for children are to be happy, social and to solve problems without fear, depression or anxiety. We know that using a research driven approach, AYRES SENSORY INTEGRATION, is the best way for us to help you reach your goals for your child.

Happy & Safe

We foster a safe enviroment to facilitate a healthy and positive growing experience outside of the client's comfort zone.

Family Participation

We encourage families to be part of the therapuetic process. Incorporating loved ones into the sessions can serve to strengthen their relationship with the client.

Gradual Exposure

Through gradual exposure we help our clients overcome challenges relating to sensory system sensitivity.

Calming Sensations

By exposing the client to calming sensations and a peaceful enviroment we promote their ability to self regulate.

Stimulating Activities

We work to enable our clients to build the self confidence and awareness needed to tackle daily tasks.

Engaging & Fun

We cater our treatment plans to the indvidual client and their families. These often incorporate an element of play therapy. While accomplishing our goals, we are playing with a purpose.

OUR PROCESS

Ayres Sensory Integration Fidelity Measures

Ensure physical safety.
Presenting a wide range of sensory activities that challenge balance, movement and touch. For example, we have 40 easily accessible suspension systems.
We plan activities and their environment to help the child maintain self-regulation and alertness. For example we'll set up quiet, small spaces with special lighting for the over aroused child whereas we'll plan lots of exciting movement activity for the sensory seeking child.
Challenging postural equipment and activities to improve visual control, oral control and bilateral coordination.
Challenge of praxis (motor planning) to help organize behavior, with daily opportunities for the child to create their very own play environment for maximum fun .
Our best tool - child directed therapy collaborating with therapist goals creates a child driven to excel and develop self-confidence.
The therapist creates the just right challenge.
Ensure the child’s success.
Support the child’s intrinsic motivation to play.
Establish a therapeutic alliance with the child.
