3.   Designed for children with sensory processing issues (ADHD, austim spectrum disorder, and dyspraxia; sometimes young children who show signs of developmental delay).   Designed to help kids who have trouble processing sensory information/experience “sensory overload”- when their brains have trouble processing many sensations at once.   This therapy uses repetitive exercises to help a child experience touch and other sensations more accurately.  Can be fun for kids because it resembles playtime; kids encouraged to play with balls and clay, may be asked to bounce, swing, or spin or special equipment.   Therapist gradually makes these activities more challenging and complex; through repetition the child’s nervous system will respond in a more “organized” way to sensations and movement.   Sometimes therapy is paired with balance treatments or movement therapy – obstacle courses, throwing a ball, and standing on a balance board.
