(Feeding Therapy) Sensory therapy addresses the processing, visual, and motor challenges apparent in individuals requiring feeding therapy. Therapy strategies address tolerating, interacting, touching, smelling, tasting, chewing, and swallowing non-preferred foods.

(Occupational Therapy) Sensory processing refers to the way we take in, interpret and respond to the information in our environment. We obtain sensory input in many ways through different sensory systems including vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Three additional sensory systems are not as obvious/well known and include proprioceptive, vestibular and interoceptive. Occupational therapists work on sensory processing skills when an individual’s participation in important daily activities is impacted by challenges processing information in one or several of these areas.
