How we help: our neurodevelopmental approach

We don't chase behavior. We address the nervous system underneath it. Every pediatric OT plan at our Brewer clinic combines four clinical pillars.

Primitive reflex integration

Retained primitive reflexes — like the Moro reflex and ATNR — interfere with learning, posture, and emotional regulation. We assess and integrate them through intentional, evidence-based movement sequences.

Sensory-motor integration therapy

Sensory-motor integration therapy helps children process and respond to sensory input in a more organized and regulated way. Our Brewer clinic provides clinic-grade vestibular, proprioceptive, and tactile equipment.

Vestibular Development

Vestibular, proprioceptive, and tactile input — swings, crash pads, deep pressure — every activity at Sensory Therapy Place is intentional and supports nervous system regulation.

Parent coaching & home programs

Regulation doesn't end in the therapy room. We teach caregivers calming protocols, sensory strategies, and home tools they can use every day. Parents are part of the clinical team.
