Unlock Speech, Language, and Learning with Neuroscience-Backed Sensory Intervention

Offered by: Act For Autism – Where Science Meets Heart

At Act For Autism, we help children with autism, speech delays, and sensory processing challenges build the foundation for learning, communication, and emotional well-being through evidence-based Sensory Integration Therapy (SIT).
 Our child-centered approach in Mohali, Chandigarh, and Patiala, Punjab focuses on strengthening the sensory-motor systems that support speech, attention, and learning.

Whether your child struggles with meltdowns, poor attention, speech delays, or difficulty engaging with others, Sensory Integration Therapy can help unlock the doors to language, learning, and meaningful connection.

What Is Sensory Integration Therapy?

Sensory Integration (SI) is the process by which the brain organizes and interprets information from the senses—touch, sound, sight, movement, and body position—to produce meaningful responses.

When sensory processing is disrupted, as commonly seen in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADHD, and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), children may:

  • Show speech delays or limited vocalization
  • Struggle with attention, emotional regulation, or frequent meltdowns
  • Exhibit motor clumsiness or poor coordination
  • Avoid certain textures, sounds, or movements
  • Withdraw socially or show inconsistent engagement

Sensory Integration Therapy retrains the brain to process sensory information correctly, helping children achieve better attention, posture, speech, and behavior.

At Act For Autism, sensory integration assessments and therapy sessions are part of our core early intervention programs, available in Mohali, Chandigarh, and Patiala.

Why Sensory Integration Matters for Brain Development

Developed from the research of Dr. A. Jean Ayres, Sensory Integration Therapy is a neuroscience-based approach that strengthens the brain’s ability to interpret sensory input and produce adaptive responses.

The Pyramid of Learning:
Sensory Input
Touch, movement, vision, hearing, body awareness
Perception
Organizing and making sense of input
Motor Control & Posture
Building coordination and stability
Attention & Regulation
Sustaining focus and calm
Cognition & Learning
Understanding, problem-solving
Language & Social Interaction
Communicating and connecting

A strong sensory-motor foundation is essential for children to:

  • Sit and focus during learning
  • Listen, process, and understand language
  • Develop clear speech and articulation
  • Participate in social play and learning

How Sensory Integration Therapy Improves Speech & Language

Children with autism or speech delays often have challenges with:

1

Vestibular input (balance)

affects sitting, breath control, and posture
2

Proprioceptive input (body awareness)

affects coordination and movement
3

Auditory processing

impacts understanding and imitation of speech
4

Oral-motor control

influences articulation and clarity

Through activities like swinging, balancing, crawling, jumping, and deep-pressure exercises, Sensory Integration Therapy helps:

  • Increase spontaneous vocalization
  • Improve speech clarity and imitation
  • Enhance attention and listening skills
  • Support emotional regulation and engagement

At Act For Autism, we’ve seen measurable progress in speech and communication once the sensory foundation is addressed.

Play Therapy for Autism

Effective Play Therapy For Children With Autism

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often struggle to grasp and learn social, emotional, and communication skills. Play therapy is an effective approach to helping them develop these skills in a fun and engaging way. It assists children to communicate, learn, and grow in a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic environment by using play.

This therapy aims to develop social skills in children and help them convey their thoughts more naturally and comfortably. We provide children with opportunities to express themselves, understand experiences, and learn new skills through toys, games, and play. Our therapists work closely with children and pay attention to the little cues to guide their learning and development.

  • Use a fun and engaging strategy to enhance social interaction in autistic kids
  • Provide a comfortable environment to encourage emotional expression
  • Develop social skills to convey thoughts more naturally and comfortably
  • Replicate real-world scenarios in fun activities to build essential skills

Build Emotional Resilience With Play Therapy Approaches

Our play therapy fosters social, emotional, and cognitive development in autistic children. Kids learn how to understand and control their emotions through this therapy, which helps them interact with therapists, parents, and peers. They learn how to process their emotions in low-stress environments and respond appropriately with happiness, anger, sadness, excitement, etc.

In order to achieve optimal outcomes, we utilize both directive and non-directive play therapy techniques. Our directive play therapy follows a structured approach, whereas non-directive allows children to take the initiative to act and gives therapists the chance to explore their abilities. Additionally, we also utilize storytelling and role-playing to establish a stimulating learning environment.

  • Provide a structured setting to understand, process, and express emotions
  • Build a foundation for emotional and cognitive growth in autistic kids
  • Employ approaches such as directive, non-directive, storytelling, and role-playing
  • Assist children with autism in developing adaptability and resilience

Integrating Play Therapy With Other Autism-Focusing Therapies

To make play therapy more effective, we integrate it with other forms of therapy that are helpful for autism, such as speech therapy, behavioral intervention, occupational therapy, and more. We focus on combining different therapies to come up with a comprehensive approach to address the individual needs of each child.

Choose Act For Autism’s comprehensive approach to autism treatment that yields promising results. Rest assured that your child is in a nurturing, secure, and engaging environment that supports their developmental progress.
