" What is Sensory Integration Therapy?...(and what is Sensory

Integration Disorder anyway?!) "

Speaker: Horvath, MS, OTR, Clinic Coordinator for OTC's

Clinic at Somerset

" I know my child is just a late talker, but just in case can early

awareness and intervention help if my child does have a problem

outside of just a speech delay? What signs should I look for? What

if he passes all his developmental milestones early, then he's OK

right? I know my child is fussy, but he is not spoiled like people

think, he just needs to have his way lots of times... "

When a child is diagnosed with a notable communication disorder

parents may have heard or been told that their child may also have a

dysfunction in sensory integration. With these words, heads begin to

swirl and minds wonder: What is sensory integration? How do I know

if my child is showing signs of such a dysfunction? If they show

these signs, what should I do? How can I get more information? Who

can help me NOW?!?!

Horvath, MS, OTR, Clinic Coordinator for OTC's Clinic at

Somerset will be joining us on March 4, 2002 to answer these

questions and others you may have concerning this problem.
