Sensory Awareness Foundation: Enhancing Lives through Sensory Integration
Welcome to the Sensory Awareness Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals with sensory processing difficulties. Our mission is to promote awareness and understanding of sensory integration and provide support for those who struggle with it.
Sensory integration refers to the way our brain processes information from our senses, including touch, taste, smell, sight, and sound. For most people, this process happens automatically and without much thought. However, for individuals with sensory processing difficulties such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or sensory processing disorder (SPD), this process can be overwhelming or confusing.
At the Sensory Awareness Foundation, we believe that everyone deserves access to resources that can help them thrive despite their challenges. That's why we offer a variety of programs and services designed to support individuals with sensory processing difficulties as well as their families and caregivers.
Our Programs
We offer a range of programs designed to meet the unique needs of each individual we serve. These include:
1) Sensory Integration Therapy: Our trained therapists work one-on-one with clients using specialized techniques aimed at improving their ability to process sensory information.
2) Parent Support Groups: We understand that raising a child with sensory processing difficulties can be challenging. That's why we offer parent support groups where parents can connect with others who are going through similar experiences.
3) Educational Workshops: We provide educational workshops for parents, teachers, and other professionals who work with individuals with sensory processing difficulties. These workshops cover topics such as understanding SPD symptoms and strategies for managing behavior in children with SPD.
4) Community Outreach: We believe in spreading awareness about SPD beyond our immediate community. That's why we participate in community events such as health fairs where we educate people about SPD symptoms and how they can help those affected by it.
Our Services
In addition to our programs, we offer a range of services designed to support individuals with sensory processing difficulties and their families. These include:
1) Occupational Therapy: Our licensed occupational therapists work with clients to develop skills that will help them function better in daily life.
2) Speech Therapy: We offer speech therapy services for individuals who struggle with communication due to sensory processing difficulties.
3) Counseling Services: We provide counseling services for individuals and families who need additional support in coping with the challenges of SPD.
4) Resource Library: Our resource library contains books, articles, and other materials related to sensory integration that are available for checkout by members of our community.
