25.01.2022 THERAPEUTIC LISTENING - what it is and how does it work? It is a comprehensive, multi-faceted sound-based approach that involves much more than just the ears. Like other sensory systems, the auditory system does not work in isolation. Neurologically it is connected to all levels of brain function and as a result it has a vast range of influence. How we listen impacts not only our overall physiology, but also our behavior. Therapeutic Listening is a specific sound-based interv...ention that is embedded in a developmental and sensory integration perspective. The music in Therapeutic Listening gives the listener unique and precisely controlled sensory information. The music is electronically modified to highlight the parts of the sound spectrum that naturally capture attention and activate body movement, synchronizing it with the environment. Therapeutic Listening uses electronic modifications, along with the organized, rhythmical sound patterns inherent in music, to trigger the self-organizing capacities of the nervous system.

20.01.2022 Tactile Discrimination Children with tactile processing difficulties may find it hard to discriminate between various tactile sensations, let alone expressing them in words. How do you describe the sense of touch?

17.01.2022 What is SENSORY PROCESSING? . It is a term describing how we interpret (or ‘process’) information we receive through our senses. The ability to receive and organise this information is vital for healthy function of the mind and body. There are eight sensory systems:... Visual (sight) received through our eyes, and interpreted as things like colour, brightness, shape and movement. Auditory (hearing) our ears receive sound waves and we process them as different frequencies and volumes Olfactory (smell) the odours sensed through the nose Gustatory (taste) such as sweet, savoury and salty Tactile (touch) what we feel with our skin, such as whether things are rough, smooth, cold or hot Vestibular (balance) the sense of where our heads and bodies are in space and control of eye movements Proprioceptive (joint position sense) the sensation of joint and muscle movements and postural control Interoception (internal sensing) the feelings inside our bodies, such as hunger, thirst, and butterflies in the stomach.

11.01.2022 The Sensory Child Gets Organized . It is not just about keeping track of things. It is also about organizing your thoughts, managing your time, planning, and knowing how to get things done. It means being able to set goals and do things in the right order. Our children can struggle with organization for different reasons. A common one is difficulty with a set of skills called executive function. No matter the cause, there are strategies that can help at every age - consult your occupational therapist today for more information today
