Sensory Integration Therapy in Mohali • Chandigarh • Patiala, Punjab
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:
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:
Vestibular input (balance)
Proprioceptive input (body awareness)
Auditory processing
Oral-motor control
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.
