The role of sensory integration therapist in the self-rehabilitation of a child with sensory processing disorders

Magdalena Wójcik

Abstract


This article, based on Polish and foreign-language literature as well as author’s own many
years of experience as a sensory integration therapist, presents the issues concerning the role of the
therapist in the broadly understood process of self-rehabilitation of the child with sensory processing
disorders. This is a topic of great importance from the point of view of the effectiveness of therapeutic
interventions and thereby improve the functioning of each child’s difficulties and problems in this
regard. Presented assumptions of sensory integration therapy, defined directions of impacts and
acceptable forms of support for the child, perhaps help readers with better understanding the nature
of this therapy and affect a greater sensitivity to the development of specific forms of stimulation.
