SENSORY INTEGRATION DYSFUNCTION TREATMENT

WHAT IS SENSORY INTEGRATION DYSFUNCTION?

Sensory integration dysfunction is a disorder in which individuals are either over or under sensitive to one or multiple senses including sound, sight, touch, taste, and proprioception (movement through space). While exact causes are unclear, research has found that individuals with this disorder have abnormalities in brain wave activity associated with regions of the brain that coordinate the senses.

Sensory Integration Dysfunction Symptoms

  • Developmental and behavioral problems

  • Difficulty returning to calm state after being upset

  • Excessive clumsiness or poor balance

  • Extreme disorganization of activities

  • Developmental and behavioral problems

  • Either an over- or under-reaction to certain stimuli

  • Failure to explore new environments

  • Heightened sensitivity to even light physical touch

  • Lack of variety in playtime activities

  • React poorly to sudden touch, sounds, movement, or light

  • Seek excessive sensory stimuli

  • Sensitivity to the feeling of clothes on skin

  • Unusually high pain tolerance

Neurofeedback Treatment for Sensory Integration Dysfunction

Sensory Integration Dysfunction is a result of the functioning disruption in the brain, and may be associated with premature birth, brain injury, learning disorders, or autism. Neurofeedback can be utilized to retrain the areas of the brain that are causing sensory difficulties. It rewards the brain when it is in an ideal, balanced state with visual and auditory signals, creating new patterns and connections over time. Our comprehensive qEEG brain map can help us to selectively target the regions of your brain where sensory dysregulation is occurring.

How does Neurofeedback work?

  • Brain map New York City

    1. Brain map

    Brainwave assessment identifies imbalances and helps to create a personalized treatment plan.

  • Neurofeedback setup

    2. Treatment setup

    Non-invasive sensors and headphones are placed on your head and the treatment session begins.

  • Brain training

    3. Brain activation

    Software translates your brainwave data and stops or starts audio/visual media based on your brain activity.

  • brc brain conditioning

    4. Conditioning

    In response to the audio/visual feedback, your brain adapts and learns to regulate your brainwaves and build new, healthy neural pathways.

  • brc optimal brain

    5. Brain Training

    Over time with continuous brain training, healthy brain activity in target regions increases, and symptom-associated activity decreases.
