The Program is a 30-day
intervention. It consists of one - 1 hour, or two - 30 minute
sessions each day for 12 consecutive days, including holidays, at
our center. Each session is an individual sensory experience
simultaneously engaging visual, auditory, and vestibular systems to
work in an integrated way. The repetitive sensory activation of each
session builds on the session before. After 12 days of sessions, the
individual returns home with a portable light instrument to continue
the program with a 20 minute session each morning and evening for
the next 18 days.
Preceding the intervention, an evaluation is made in which a
listening profile and visual field are taken. these "perceptions
maps" help provide a baseline that is used during the course of the
Program to track improvement in sensory processing
The Sensory Learning Program is a foundational intervention. We
encourage parents of children with sensory issues to explore the
Program as one of the first interventions provided. The reason for
this is twofold. First, the benefits of the Sensory Learning Program
are significant on their own. But equally important, because the
Sensory Learning Program works on the ground-level sensory
perception of the child, where the process of learning begins, it
often improves the effectiveness of other therapies that follow.
