Why a clinic needs its own sensory gym
Sensory integration doesn't work in a 9 m² office. It needs space, equipment — and time.
The principles of Ayres therapy assume the child chooses the activity within an environment dense with options: swings, tunnels, sensory bins, a small climbing wall.
Sensory integration therapy looks like cheerful play from the outside, but the therapist carefully selects the means to help the child organise the information that constantly reaches the brain from the senses.
If you have only ever seen a "sensory room" with mood lighting — that is not it. Sensory integration is physical work, not passive relaxation.
