Regulation of arousal levels

Regulation of arousal levels

Arousal refers to the ability of the children to maintain an optimal performance level and how alert the children are, in order to sustain our attention and complete tasks as the environment demands. Self-regulation is the ability to achieve, sustain and change our arousal level to meet the changing demands of the task or situation.

Regulation of arousal and physiological state begins at birth and is critical for the child to be able to adapt to its ever changing environment. The child’s temperament may also be attributed to their ability to self-regulate. The behavioral indicators of poor self-regulation and difficult temperament overlap. Behavioral indicators of children with a more significant regulatory disorder may be emotional ups and downs, irritability, difficulty with transitions or unexpected changes, inattention, sleep problems, feeding problems, and mood regulation problems, and sensory processing problems.

Motor planning skills

Motor planning skills

The ability to conceive, plan, and carry out a skilled, non-habitual motor act in the correct sequence from beginning to end. It is a learned ability which is generalized to all unfamiliar tasks so a child does not need to consciously figure out each new task he or she faces. The child with motor planning difficulties may be slow in carrying out verbal instructions and often appears clumsy in new tasks.

Motor planning difficulties are caused by problems processing sensory information and poor neural connections in the brain. In order to have efficient motor planning, an individual must be able to organize sensory input from his body, have adequate body percept and be able to move around his environment. Difficulty with sensory processing can lead to poor motor planning for fine, gross, and oral motor tasks (such as handwriting, jumping, and forming words, respectively).

Refinement of sensory processing

Refinement of sensory processing

Sensory integration is a normal developmental process that helps us to achieve mastery in many areas of development. We perceive and learn through our senses, and sensory input precedes a motor output. As a result of typical sensory processing, we learn self-regulation, self-control, motor skills, and higher level cognitive functions like attention, memory, academic skills, fine motor skills, coordination etc.,.

The child who avoids ordinary sensations or seeks excessive stimulation, whose behavior is uncontrollable, whose body is uncooperative, he/she comes under the category of sensory processing disturbance. They also get a similar kind of sensation from the environment, but they are unable to process it and give no response or a different response as compared to normal kids.

Handwriting

Handwriting

Handwriting is a complex process of managing written language by coordinating the eyes, arms, hands, pencil grip, letter formation, and body posture. The development of a child's handwriting can provide clues to developmental problems that could hinder a child's learning because teachers depend on written work to measure how well a child is learning..

Children should have the different components including hand dominance, hand division, hand and finger strength, shoulder stability, letter awareness, number awareness, pencil control, pencil mechanics, pre-writing skills, visual perception, planning and sequencing, postural control. We evaluate the underlying components that support a child’s handwriting, such as muscle strength, endurance, coordination, and motor control.

Balance improvement

Balance improvement

Balance is an important body function/motor performance skill to maintain a controlled body position during task performance, whether it is sitting at a table, walking the balance beam or stepping up onto a kerb produces function effectively across environments and tasks..

Children need the ability to maintain controlled positions during both static (still) and dynamic (moving) activities that involves attention and concentration, Body Awareness, Bilateral integration, Crossing Mid-line, Hand eye coordination, Hand Dominance, Muscular strength, Muscular endurance, Self-regulation, Postural Control, Body Awareness (Proprioception), Sensory processing, Isolated movement.

Enhancement of language and cognitive skills

Enhancement of language and cognitive skills

When a child learns to speak, it is important to ensure that their pronunciation and understanding levels should develop simultaneously. The enhancement of language and cognitive skills is necessary to modify their pronunciation which leads to a highly reliable speech and language therapy for your children.

Our speech and language development plan imply to have a proper synchronization of the tongue and brain of the child. Our highly qualified professionals are experts in this field, post proper examination, we analyze and understand the child and speech problem in children by incorporating various activities, speech therapy in linguistic skills.

Development of communication skills

Development of communication skills

Possessing a set of proper oral language skills can be described as an essential life skill. Both verbally and non-verbally, kids communicate with others while enjoying or disliking certain sensory play and even they express through emotions. Eye contact, proper use of toys while playing, appropriate way of conveying needs are the basic skills of communication. When kids discover that their preferences, it encourages them to communicate even more and better.

Age-appropriate self-care skills

Age-appropriate self-help skills

Self-help skills are those skills that are necessary for a person to care and manage their own needs. Self-help skills can include physical skills such as dressing or bathing, and they can include mental and emotional skills such as knowing when to use the restroom, dressing themselves, bathing, showing kindness to others, and offering to help around the house. The development of self-care skills is necessary for a child's independence.

Hand/eye coordination

Hand/eye coordination

This occurs automatically for all people and it is not an issue that you really think about. However, certain activities like playing video games or sports generally demand rapid hand-eye coordination. They practice skills that let them move closer to desired objects and also move desired objects closer to themselves. A proper coordination between hand and eye is extremely important for performing many life skills such as writing and eating.

Muscle strengthening

Muscle strengthening

Hand and finger strength is important as it is required for many everyday activities such as doing up buttons and zips, climbing monkey bars or cutting up a piece of steak at mealtimes. It also helps to develop the endurance to complete activities such as writing a full page. Core strengthening activities for children are so important to help with postural control, balance, sports.

Behavior modification

Behavior modification

The direct changing of unwanted behavior by means of biofeedback or conditioning is called behavioral modification. We can’t change the brain and how it is processing sensory information but we can change the sensory input going in and watch the behavioural response coming out. This might help the child in his aacademic and organizational skills, social behavior and classroom engagement.

Sensitivity adjustment

Sensitivity adjustment

Children who has problem in sensory processing might be either over responsive or under responsive to external stimulus. By adjusting their sensory processing ability, the child might be able to perform the activities for daily living without disturbance. It could be adjusted by providing the appropriate sensory input consistently.
