How It Works The information received through all of our senses, including touch, movement, muscles, and vision, must properly interpreted and processed by the brain in order for neurological development to proceed in a normal manner. When the brain does not receive the sensory information correctly, or shuts it out completely, the child's ability to develop gross and fine motor skills, to be successful academically, and to develop social skills are compromised. These children exhibit a combination of behaviors that frequently indicate that their neurological foundation is not sufficient for them to be successful in the fulfillment of their various roles as a child, sibling, peer and student - yet they "look" normal. Words such as "unmotivated", "disinterested", "lazy" or comments such as "Everything that he hears, goes in one ear and out the other", "She can't sit still", "He refuses to listen", or "He explodes over nothing" are often used .to describe some of these children. There is also a group of children who don 't have any behavior problems but struggle in school. Poor phonemic awareness interferes with success in the areas of articulation, reading and spelling. Difficulty with written and verbal language comprehension, math, and critical thinking skills create stress and frustration for the child, parents, and teachers. Children's Therapy Center provides therapy services to develop or enhance the processing of sensory information so that a stronger neurological foundation is available to the child for the development or refinement of gross and fine motor skills, cognition and academic learning, and social interactions. Our belief is that every child has potential. Our goal is to give the children that we treat a chance to fulfill their greatest potential. |
