Here at The Sensory Spot
We use a child-led sensory integration approach that is highly individualised, and tailored to each child’s unique sensory profile, within our occupational therapy assessments and interventions.
The concept of being child-led occupational therapists is central to our effectiveness and success. A child-led approach is vital because we recognise that a child’s sensory needs, preferences, and responses vary from individual to individual. In a child-led sensory integration approach, we follow the child’s cues, interests, and comfort levels, rather than directing them through predetermined activities. This ensures the child is more engaged, motivated, and more likely to benefit from the therapeutic process.
