Sensory Integration
Sensory integration is the ability to perceive and select stimuli through the senses, process them appropriately by the brain, and provide adequate responses to them. However, sensory integration is not only about properly modulating incoming stimuli but also involves aspects such as emotional and behavioral adaptation to them, attention concentration, movement, muscle tension, and correct body posture. Sensory integration will also influence school-related abilities, reading and writing skills.
Psychomotor Skills
Empowerment Psychomotor Therapy is a form of therapy that helps children with sensory processing disorders, coordination and concentration issues, movement planning, and self-esteem problems. Children learn to make healthy use of their sense of touch, sight, hearing, smell, and taste. In empowerment psychomotor therapy, participants learn sensory and movement integration, explore their bodies and their capabilities, and build self-confidence based on achievements and belief in their own abilities.

What is sensory integration?
Sensory integration is a process in which different sensory systems work together through feedback and coordination. It is a form of interaction between the senses, i.e., how they collaborate to process and understand what is being experienced. While both children with special needs and those without such needs can experience sensory processing issues, it can manifest in various ways depending on factors such as age, developmental level, environment, culture, and genetics.
Who is sensory integration for in Wroclaw?
Primarily for diagnosed patients. We emphasize this at every step. In our professional practice, we have encountered cases where we worked with children without diagnoses in therapy. However, it’s essential to remember that there is no therapy without a diagnosis. This is obvious because how can we treat our patient if we don’t know what we should really do, in what scope to help?
With this clarity in mind, we can specify more precisely who sensory integration is for. SI therapy has no special restrictions and is essentially for all children who feel “too” overly active, not active enough, too calm, or too loud, oversensitive to various factors, etc. Of course, no “too” or “too much” is bad, but it can hinder functioning. That’s why we talk about individuals who feel “too much” with their situation. Secondly, children referred to us by other specialists. Diagnosing or ruling out sensory integration disorders can significantly support other ongoing therapies and a child’s functioning in an educational setting. Thirdly, all children who have problems with planning their movement. This includes things like a reluctance to move, a lack of bicycle-riding skills, or “bumping” into walls or furniture.
So, if you are interested in sensory integration in Wroclaw, please feel free to contact us. However, Simotus as a child development center also offers hand therapy, psychomotor therapy, and speech therapy sessions.
