Comprehensive support for child's sensory development
Therapy for children who find it hard to take in and organise sensory input - touch, movement, sound. We start with an assessment and a conversation about everyday situations: dressing, eating, falling asleep, playing with other children. Goals are set together with the parent and written concretely, so it is possible to check what actually changes.
Sensory integration may support communication development when the therapy plan requires it. Sensory integration therapy does not replace speech therapy and on its own does not resolve speech difficulties. The sensory integration therapist and the speech therapist agree shared goals so the exercises support each other.
We look, with the child and the parent, for strategies that help settle down or wake up in a specific situation: before sleep, in a shop, in class. The work goes through movement activity and through adjusting the surroundings, not through forcing behaviour. Research on sensory integration therapy shows effects mainly on individually agreed participation goals, and that is how we write those goals.
Sensory-motor exercises supporting motor planning, balance and hand skills. Sessions take the form of play on suspended equipment and obstacle courses, matched to what the child can do. We check progress on concrete activities - dressing, riding a bike, handwriting - not on the exercises themselves.

Short articles from our therapists that go deeper
Sensory integration is the way the nervous system organizes information from the body and the environment. When this process is difficult, everyday activities may become unnecessarily demanding for a child.
In some children, delayed speech appears together with sensory-processing difficulties. We explain how this can affect communication and when a broader assessment may be helpful.
A first speech therapy visit can feel emotional for children and parents. Learn how to prepare, what to bring, and what a speech therapy assessment at StacjaMowa looks like-calmly and clearly.
