Academics & Learning
At Sensory Tree, we are committed to transforming the practices of pediatric therapy by adopting a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach. We believe in moving away from traditional deficits-based models and towards an inclusive framework that celebrates each child's unique abilities. Our goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment where children are empowered to facilitate their own success, fostering their growth through play, exploration, and individualized support. We strive to make the world more inclusive and accommodating, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive without being seen as needing to be "fixed."
Child-led, Play-based
Play-based therapy involves activities that look like fun but are carefully designed to target specific sensory and motor challenges. Being child-led means that your child guides the session, choosing activities that interest and motivate them. Children learn best through play, so by following their lead in a playful environment, your child makes stronger neural connections, leading to improved sensory integration, motor skills, and success in daily life.
Comprehensive, Sensory-centered
Understanding and integrating the sensory systems is crucial to truly supporting each child's development. Unlike typical therapy clinics that often overlook or minimally address sensory processing and integration, we place a strong emphasis on the sensory aspects that form the foundation of how our brains and bodies function.
Sensory processing is not just about being more or less sensitive to different things in the world; it is the foundation of how we interact with our environment, learn new skills, and engage in everyday activities.
is based on the Sensory Pyramid, a model that illustrates how our sensory systems support all of our higher-level skills and abilites. Struggles in daily life, at school and/or at home may be signs that the lower, foundational levels of the pyramid are dysfunctional in some way. Only when we address the sensory foundation of the pyramid can we fully support the more complex motor and cognitive skills towards the top. This method allows us to create a strong base for all other areas of development, and as a result, success in the areas of daily life that were previously a struggle.
