SENSORY PROCESSING DISORDER - It is crucial to understand that the sensory system comprises

various senses, and these senses process information as the foundation for many other skills. It is

important to recognize the significant role that these sensory systems play in our overall functioning.

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY ~ (TBI) occurs when an external impact causes a change in brain

function. TBI is a leading cause of acquired disability and mortality. It typically results in mobility,

cognition, language, swallowing, and daily activity impairments.

VISUAL MOTOR DELAYS ~ Children who experience visual-motor problems may fail to meet

developmental milestones or experience delays in gross motor skills such as crawling, standing,

and walking, as well as fine motor skills such as grasping and manipulating objects and holding

crayons.

VITALSTIM THERAPY ~ is a form of neuromuscular electrical stimulation that helps to activate the

muscles responsible for swallowing. The electrodes, which are usually placed on the cheeks or the

front of the neck, deliver an electrical current to stimulate the muscles. VitalStim is the only device

approved by the FDA for treating dysphagia (swallowing difficulties).
