Sensory Integration
Sensory Integration
At AKL, our occupational therapists specialize in sensory integration therapy to help children develop appropriate responses to sensory information. We work with infants, children, and teens who have difficulty processing input from the eight sensory systems – visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, vestibular, proprioceptive, and interoceptive.
- Increased distractibility, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.
- Avoidant behaviors, anxiety, or emotional dysregulation.
- Delays in gross and fine motor skills, coordination, and balance.
- Difficulty learning and playing due to poor modulation and discrimination.
- Assessing each child’s unique sensory processing challenges.
- Controlled sensory input to help the brain form appropriate adaptive responses.
- Motor skill activities that provide vestibular, proprioceptive, and tactile input.
- Guidance for parents/teachers on supporting self-regulation and focus.
We provide sensory integration therapy at our clinic, through home visits, and at community settings. Our therapists design personalized treatment tailored to each child’s needs to enhance their functional abilities.

Parents contact AKL inquiring about Occupational and Physical therapy. AKL does a 5-minute questionnaire to establish the patient information. An email is then sent to the parent advising of the next step. The email contains the requests for a couple of documents needed to begin the initial appointment with AKL.
Once the payment information is confirmed, we will send another email to the parent coordinating and confirming the evaluation appointment.
The parent will receive a notification reminder for the evaluation appointment via text, email and or a call. The information will contain documents needed, time and date of the appointment as well as the licensed therapist who will be evaluating the patient. The therapist might also contact the parent to confirm the appointment and coordinate the session.
The parent will receive the next steps via an email following up the evaluation.
The parent will receive a notification once the plan of care has been signed by the referring physician. We will coordinate with the parent of availability and amount of sessions that will be provided weekly.
Once therapy starts, the success of the sessions will be based on consistency and mutual feedback on the development of the patient.
