Multi-Sensory training can be beneficial to any child or adult who is having difficulties with literacy skills, maths, short term memory, auditory processing, concentration, balance, coordination and has poor fine and gross motor skills.
What can you expect from Multi-Sensory Training?
Many people who experience difficulties in the areas outlined above are frequently found to have problems with the Movement Visual System, which is linked to other balance and co-ordination control systems within the brain.
Each assessment at the Multi-Sensory Training Centre is different, based specifically on the needs of the individual. Investigations into the following areas are possible; visual processing skills, ocular proprioception, concentration skills, auditory and visual memory, visualisation skills, visual perception, visual motor integration, Meares-Irlen Syndrome, auditory processing/listening skills, motor planning skills, bilateral integration, hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, basic balance and for the retention of primitive reflexes.
A personal exercise program will be created, dependent on the individuals difficulties. All of the exercises can be carried out easily at home. For the exercises to work effectively, they will need to be done on a regular basis.
Following an initial assessment a written report will be produced.
Multi-Sensory training is an ongoing therapy service and follow up sessions are normally required initially, every 12 weeks. When some areas start to improve, the frequency of re-assessment will reduce.
