Understanding the World Through Their Senses
Does your child seem overly sensitive to sounds, lights, or touch? Or do they seek constant movement, crashing into things or spinning non-stop? These may be signs of Sensory Integration Disorder, also known as Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).
At our Child Rehabilitation Centre in Al Nahda, Dubai, we specialize in occupational therapy (OT) that helps children with sensory challenges develop better control, confidence, and comfort in daily life.
What is Sensory Integration Disorder?
Sensory Integration Disorder is a condition where the brain has difficulty receiving and responding to information from the senses. It can affect:
- Touch (tactile)
- Sound (auditory)
- Sight (visual)
- Movement & balance (vestibular)
- Body awareness (proprioception)
Children with SPD may be:
Oversensitive (avoidant) to certain stimuli
Under-responsive (seekers) who crave more stimulation
Or show a mixed pattern of both
Common Signs of Sensory Integration Issues:-
- Covers ears at loud sounds or avoids certain textures
- Constantly moving, jumping, or crashing into objects
- Difficulty with focus or transitions
- Trouble with fine motor skills (writing, buttoning clothes)
- Meltdowns in busy or unfamiliar environments
How Occupational Therapy Helps
Occupational Therapy for Sensory Integration Disorder focuses on helping children:
- Regulate sensory input
- Improve body awareness and coordination
- Build self-soothing and adaptive behaviors
- Strengthen everyday skills like dressing, eating, and writing
