Our Tools - Sensory Connections - Providing innovative therapy services for children and families

The DIR® model is an umbrella under which we are able to use a number of specific intervention tools and strategies to best meet the individual needs of the child and family.

At Sensory Connections we specialize in using the following therapeutic tools as well as providing traditional occupational therapy interventions and educational services.

Overview

These interventions address -

• Sensory motor modulation and reactivity,
• Sensory Integration - balance, coordination, and bilateral integration,
• Praxis – motor planning and sequencing,
• Fine motor /manipulation,
• Visual – perception,
• Handwriting,
• Oral motor / feeding,
• Adaptive skills / activities of daily living / occupational life skills,

The balance between spontaneous learning elements and the semi-structured and structured elements of a child’s individualised program depends on the child’s profile and needs.
