Sensory Integration and Sensory Processing Disorder
Sensory integration is a neurological process that organizes sensation from one's body and the surrounding environment, making it possible to use the body effectively. When people are not able to interpret and respond to sensory information efficiently, they may experience Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). However, the duration it takes for each child to progress with sensory integration therapy is unique and depends on various factors such as environmental accommodative changes, and regularly attending therapies. At Columbia Pediatric Therapy, occupational therapists provide personalized activities, equipment, and environmental accommodations that facilitate sensory input and thus promote clients' sensory health.
