Children in Qormi who experience sensory processing difficulties can access specialist sensory integration therapy at WonderKids in Mosta. Our therapists are trained in Ayres Sensory Integration and deliver therapy in fully equipped sensory rooms with professional-grade suspended equipment, providing the gold standard of sensory integration intervention.
Why Choose WonderKids for Sensory Integration Therapy?
Sensory integration therapy requires specialist training and specialist equipment. At WonderKids, our occupational therapists hold postgraduate qualifications in sensory integration, and our Mosta clinic features purpose-built sensory rooms designed to deliver authentic Ayres Sensory Integration therapy.
Our sensory rooms include suspended swings, platform equipment, climbing structures, and a wide range of tactile and proprioceptive materials. This specialist environment is essential for effective sensory integration therapy and is not available in standard therapy rooms or home settings.
What Is Sensory Integration Therapy?
Developed by Dr A. Jean Ayres, sensory integration therapy helps children who have difficulty processing and responding to sensory information from their environment and their own bodies. The therapy involves engaging children in activities that provide controlled sensory input, primarily through the vestibular (movement), proprioceptive (body awareness), and tactile (touch) systems.
The goal is not to eliminate sensory sensitivities but to help the nervous system become more efficient at processing sensory information, leading to improved function in daily activities, learning, and social participation.
How Do We Help Children from Qormi?
We begin with a comprehensive sensory assessment that includes standardised sensory questionnaires, clinical observation of sensory responses and motor performance, and a detailed parent interview. This assessment reveals your child’s unique sensory profile and guides therapy planning.
Therapy sessions are child-led and play-based, following the principles of Ayres Sensory Integration:
- Just-right challenge: Activities are graded to be challenging enough to promote growth without causing overwhelm
- Adaptive response: We create opportunities for your child to respond successfully to sensory challenges, building confidence and competence
- Active engagement: Your child is an active participant, choosing activities that their nervous system naturally seeks
- Sensory diet development: We create a personalised programme of sensory activities for home and school to maintain regulation throughout the day
What to Expect When You Visit
Our Mosta clinic is approximately 15 minutes from Qormi by car. We are open Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 18:00. Sessions typically last 45 minutes and take place in our sensory rooms.
We involve parents closely, providing education about sensory processing, demonstrating strategies, and developing home programmes. Regular progress reviews ensure therapy goals remain relevant and achievable.
