What happens during an SI-based OT or PT session?
The therapist typically structures the session using ideas and leads from the child to make the activities as meaningful as possible. Frequently the use of an imaginative play theme can enhance the child’s willingness to engage in desired activities for longer periods of time. The rapport that the therapist and child develop is central to the therapy. The therapist is always working to provide a “just-right challenge,” while giving the child ample opportunities for enhanced sensory input to build a stronger foundation for skill.
