Occupational Therapy

OT strengthens the child’s motor skills, reduces the occurrence of sensory issues and increases their sitting tolerance by enhancing concentration. This helps them independently perform their daily activities and self-care which significantly contributes to their self-esteem and sense of accomplishment.
Special Education
Special Education helps create a supportive environment to ensure that every child’s educational needs are provided for. It facilitates cognitive development in children.
Various psychological and behavioral concerns manifest themselves in the form of reading and writing difficulties, inability to concentrate or comprehend instructions, as well as difficulties in expressing needs, both physical and emotional. These difficulties impair a child’s ability to learn in a traditional classroom setting.
Children with such needs require additional support in the classroom. Tailor-made Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) along with successful collaboration between special educators, parents and teachers preparing children to cope with the demands of mainstream education.
Sensory Integration
Sensory Integration refers to the processing, integration, and organisation of sensory information from the body and the environment. Simply put, this means how we experience, interpret and react to (or ignore) information coming from our senses. It is important in all the things that we need to do on a daily basis, such as getting dressed, eating, moving around, socialising, learning and working.
Sensory information is received from our senses, which include- Sight (vision), Hearing (auditory system), Touch (tactile system), Taste (gustatory system) Smell (olfactory system), Proprioception (senses of body awareness and position), Vestibular (awareness of movement, balance, and coordination), Interoception (our internal sensory system that tells us what is happening inside our body, for example, hunger, needing the toilet, fatigue, emotions, etc)
Working on these senses, aims to strengthen conceptual learning in children by pairing learning with activities that involve these different senses.
