We are currently working with those whose difficulties are caused by their inability to process the information they receive from their bodies and the world around them.
Generally, this difficulty occurs when sensory signals don’t get organised into appropriate responses and has been likened to a neurological “traffic jam.” This prevents certain parts of the brain from receiving the information needed to interpret sensory information correctly. We call this a sensory processing difficulty and it can affect how the individual hears, feels, sees, tastes, smells, balances and understands the positioning of their body. This can be very challenging for the individual when they are trying to perform everyday tasks. If not treated effectively, it can result in various challenges for the individual including clumsiness, behavioural problems, anxiety, depression and school failure.
Our organisation aims to give children, young people and adults access to specialist therapists using (AYRES) Sensory Integration therapy to guide them in organising their nervous systems. This does not involve medical treatment or drugs, special diets or repetitive exercise. The therapy is child (or adult) centred and programmes are specific to their individual developmental needs.
