Children experience the world through their senses — sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, balance, and body awareness. When the brain has difficulty processing and organizing this information, everyday experiences can feel overwhelming or confusing. This may show up as behaviours such as constant movement, rocking, spinning, or hand flapping.
At Family First, our Sensory Integration Specialists — including Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, and Speech & Language Therapists — help children better understand and respond to sensory input so they can participate more comfortably in daily life.
