Sensory Processing

Your child may want to ride a bike, climb on playground equipment or draw with crayons. At Polinsky Medical Rehabilitation Center, we can evaluate your child to determine what functional delays may be preventing him or her from joining these common childhood activities.

Sensory processing/sensory integration helps your child connect to his or her world. It’s the neurological process that organizes sensations from the body and environment and then allows you to use your body within that environment.

Our therapy revolves around a core principle: Work is child’s play. Much of our therapy takes place in our Sensory Integration room, where your child can climb, crawl, touch and swing.

We challenge our patients just enough, engaging your child in activities that may have been too difficult. This allows development of new skills and meets therapy goals without fear or anxiety.

Among our specialties that incorporate sensory processing/integration are Sensory Integration Praxis Test, Interactive Metronome Therapy and Therapeutic Listening.
