Our senses give us information that help us to relate to ourselves and others. Every moment we are constantly interacting with someone or something. A healthy integrated sensory system helps us to survive and to move through the world with more ease. The earlier children get the help they need, the less they have to struggle. We all want our children to thrive and be happy. When your child receives the inner work that can help integrate the nervous system, it is then possible to navigate through life easier.
If your child is finding it difficult to integrate sensory information to move forward, you may want to consider Craniosacral Therapy. The focus of Craniosacral Therapy is to support, balance and enhance the functioning of the nervous system. Through this light touch modality, the body seems to self-regulate and self-organize more efficiently.
For more information on helping children with Sensory Processing Disorders, I'd like to recommend the book, "the Out-of-Sync Child, written by Carol STock Kranowitz, M.A. She offers an educational approach on how to identify and distinguish integration difficulties. She also provides healthy responses in how to support your child to be the best they can be.
For a Craniosacral Therapist in your area, look at the Upledger Institute link. If you would like someone specifically trained to work with children, it will be noted that the therapist has trained in Pediatric Craniosacral Therapy.
