Occupational therapy is a profession that promotes health and well-being through occupation. Its main objective is to enable people to participate in the activities of daily life"
Occupational therapy is applied through purposeful activities and its practice is evidence-based (EBP). These activities are designed with each person's interests in mind. It also provides the techniques and tools that the individual needs to perform in their daily activities. Support products can also be used depending on the needs of each person.
What is Sensory Integration?
Sensory Integration Therapy was developed in the 1970s by Occupational Therapist A. Jean Ayres, is designed to help children with sensory processing problems to overcome the difficulties they have in processing sensory stimuli.
The theory behind it is that over time the brain will adapt and allow children to process and react to sensations more efficiently.
Sensory integration therapy should be provided by a specially trained occupational therapist
Who is a candidate for Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy is comprehensive and therefore helps to treat a wide range of people. The Occupational Therapist assists and accompanies the person in this process, as well as with a young child who has difficulties in school or someone with a physical disability. It rehabilitates everything from the muscles to any normal action of daily life, such as combing one's hair or riding a bus.
In the case of children it is important that the intervention in Occupational Therapy starts early to obtain effective results in a shorter time. When dealing with a child it is not only important to select an appropriate intervention method, but also to inform, contain and accompany the family.
