Sensory integration (SI / SPD)

Organising sensation for movement.

When the senses don't quite line up, movement feels unpredictable. We help the body organise sensation — touch, balance, body-awareness — so movement becomes steadier, smoother and more confident.

What it is

Sensory integration, in plain terms.

Sensory integration (or processing) difficulty — SI / SPD — is when the brain struggles to organise the senses, especially touch, balance (vestibular) and body-awareness (proprioception). The result can be over- or under-reaction, and movement that feels clumsy or effortful.

We weave sensory work into active movement: graded vestibular, proprioceptive and tactile challenge that helps the nervous system organise itself, so posture, coordination and confidence improve. Measured around each child.

Subtypes we work with

Profiles we work with.

We have hands-on experience with the variants named below — and with many rare types that don't fit neatly into any of them. If your child's diagnosis isn't here, please reach out: we work with complex and rare cases every day.

Sensory over-responsivity Sensory under-responsivity Vestibular (balance) processing Proprioceptive (body-awareness) difficulty Tactile processing difficulty Sensory-based motor difficulty

The toolkit

Methods that organise sensation.

DMI — motor mapping

Dynamic Movement Intervention drives automatic motor responses and new movement patterns.

About DMI

CME — gravity reaction

Cuevas MEDEK Exercise trains the child's reaction to gravity and postural control.

TheraSuit — alignment

A suit system that improves alignment and loads the body for active, intensive work.

Galileo — activation

Gentle vibration wakes up and strengthens muscles before and during therapy.

How we work with it

Active, hands-on sensory-motor work.

We grade vestibular, proprioceptive and tactile challenge inside active movement — in focused sessions, tracked so progress is visible — helping the nervous system organise itself.

No generic templates. Every plan is built around one child's specific sensory profile and goals — and adjusted as they respond.

Questions, answered

What these parents ask us.

Is this occupational therapy?

There's overlap — we focus on the sensory-motor side: organising sensation for steadier posture, coordination and movement. We complement your other supports.

My child avoids certain sensations — is that a problem here?

No — we grade challenge carefully and meet your child where they are, building tolerance and confidence gradually.

How will we know it's working?

We measure at the start and review change — in posture, coordination and how confidently your child moves and engages.

Will insurance help fund it?

Often, via Krankenkasse or IV/AI pathways. See insurance & funding — our parent liaison helps with the paperwork.

Not quite a match?

Doesn't your child fit this profile?

We work with all kinds of children. If your child's condition or diagnosis isn't exactly what's described here, reach out anyway — we'll happily answer your questions, and we look forward to speaking with you.
