Sensory Integration

We provide sensory integration therapy to support children with Autism, ADHD, and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).

Our occupational therapists use play-based activities to help the brain better process touch, sound, movement, and visual input.

Sensory integration therapy can improve emotional regulation, attention, transitions, motor coordination, and participation in daily routines. Children with SPD may be over- or under-responsive to sensory input, which can affect their behavior, learning, and ability to engage in daily life.

Using evidence-based strategies, we help children build tolerance to sensory input, develop body awareness, and feel more confident in their environment.

Laser Therapy

What is Laser Therapy?
Low Level Laser Therapy(LLLT) is painless, non-invasive, systemic, drug-free modality. It is proven to be an effective tool for reducing irritability and other behaviors associated with Autism, ADHD & Mood Disorders in children/adults, with positive changes maintained over time by targeting brain function and nervous system regulation.

At Sensory Therapeutics we utilize the LLLT protocol developed by Dr. Melillo specifically for children/adults with Autism, and ADHD as well as other custom protocols specific to the client’s needs. These protocols target specific sites of the head for a precise amount of time.

We provide Laser intensives together with Neurosage and other Neuroadaptive therapies.

Reflex Integration

We offer reflex integration therapy to support children and adults with autism, ADHD, sensory processing concerns, and developmental delays. Primitive reflexes are automatic movements that should naturally fade as a child grows. When retained, they can impact coordination, emotional regulation, attention, posture, and daily life skills.

Our occupational therapists use evidence-based exercises and brain-body techniques to help integrate these reflexes and improve focus, balance, motor skills, emotional control, and functional independence.

We assess and address reflexes such as the Moro, ATNR, STNR, TLR, Spinal Galant, Palmar, and more, tailoring sessions to meet each client’s unique needs.

Executive Functioning Skills

We help children, teens, and adults improve essential executive functioning skills such as organization, attention, planning, emotional regulation, and impulse control. Using a blend of sensory integration, movement-based therapy, and cognitive strategies, our therapists create personalized plans to support success at home, in school, and everyday life.

Ideal for individuals with ADHD, autism, or sensory processing challenges, our goal is to build independence, confidence, and real-world problem-solving.

Fine Motor Skills

Fine motor skills involve the coordination of small muscles in the hands and fingers that allow us to perform everyday tasks with precision—such as writing, buttoning clothes, using utensils, and manipulating small objects. Development of these skills relies on areas like hand strength, finger isolation, thumb movement, bilateral coordination, and hand-eye coordination.                                                        We work to strengthen these foundational abilities to support independence and success in daily activities.

Visual Motor/Perceptual Skills

Visual motor, visual perceptual, and oculomotor skills are essential for reading, writing, coordination, and daily activities. These skills help children track objects, process what they see, and coordinate their eyes with hand movements.                                                                At Sensory Therapeutics we assess and treat difficulties with eye tracking, visual attention, spatial awareness, and visual discrimination to support academic success, motor coordination, and functional independence.

Gross Motor Skills

OTs helps children with gross motor skills by developing: muscle strength, endurance, balance, coordination & postural control.

Gross motor activities include walking, running, throwing, lifting, kicking, etc. These skills also relate to body awareness, reaction speed, balance and strength.

Behaviors Social/Emotional Skills

Our occupational therapists help children and teens with emotional regulation, behavior management, and social skills through a supportive, play-based approach.

We use strategies like deep breathing, mindfulness, and emotional identification to build self-regulation skills. Visual supports (schedules, timers), sensory-friendly environments, and positive behavior reinforcement help reduce anxiety and improve transitions.

We also work on social interaction and coping skills through role-play and structured activities, empowering children to thrive at home, in school, and with peers.

Integrated Listening System

The Integrated Listening System (iLs) is a therapeutic program designed to improve brain and body function through specially filtered music, movement, and bone conduction. This multi-sensory approach helps strengthen neural connections that support emotional regulation, attention, learning, and behavior.

At Sensory Therapeutics, we use the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) to target auditory processing and help the nervous system respond more calmly and appropriately to everyday stimuli. By listening to calming frequencies in a supportive setting, children and adults can feel more regulated, focused, and emotionally resilient—whether at home, in school, or in social settings.

Self-Care Skills

 Self-care skills are the building blocks of independence. They help children learn how to plan, organize, and carry out everyday tasks like toileting, dressing, opening lunch containers, and grooming. These skills also lay the foundation for success in school and at home.

At Sensory Therapeutics, our occupational therapists support children in developing age-appropriate independence in self-care routines. Whether it’s toilet training, getting dressed, or brushing teeth, we use sensory-informed, play-based strategies to help kids gain confidence and function more independently in their daily lives.

Myofascial Release Therapy (Body work)

Myofascial Release is a gentle, hands-on therapy used to reduce pain, tension, and movement restrictions by targeting fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs. We use this technique to help improve posture, flexibility, and nervous system regulation.

It’s especially helpful for children and adults with autism, sensory processing disorder, toe-walking, torticollis, or hypermobility. Myofascial Release supports better movement, coordination, and overall function, and pairs well with sensory integration, reflex work, and laser therapy.

Feeding Skills

Our occupational therapists provide feeding therapy to help children with picky eating, oral aversions, and sensory-based food challenges. We create a positive, low-pressure mealtime environment that supports a child’s comfort and willingness to explore new foods.

Our sensory-based feeding approach focuses on increasing food variety—not quantity—by gradually introducing new tastes, textures, and smells. This helps improve tolerance, expand dietary choices, and reduce mealtime stress for both children and caregivers.
