Children experience the world through their senses — touch, sound, sight, movement, smell, balance, and body awareness.
But when the brain struggles to organize these sensations, everyday activities become overwhelming.

A child may:

• Cover their ears for small sounds

• Refuse certain clothes or textures

• Seek spinning, jumping, or crashing

• Have difficulty sitting still

• Fear swings, slides, or movement

• Show meltdowns or emotional overload

• Struggle with writing, attention, or coordination

This condition is known as Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) or Sensory Integration Difficulties.

At Pranaah Psychological Services & Child Development Centre, Kollam, we offer dedicated Sensory Integration Therapy (SI Therapy) to help children regulate their responses, improve participation, and gain confidence.

 

Pranaah is proudly the first established counselling centre in Kollam city (2013) and operates under the compassionate leadership of:

Dr. Devi Raj

Psychologist | Licensed Early Interventionist | Founder, Pranaah CDC

She leads a multidisciplinary team of:

• Occupational Therapists

• Child Psychologists

• Behavior Therapists

• Speech Therapists

• Special Educators

• Counselors

• Early Intervention Specialists

Together, they ensure sensory therapy is personalized, accurate, and developmentally meaningful.

 

What Is Sensory Integration Therapy?

Sensory Integration Therapy helps children process sensory information correctly so they can:

• Stay calm

• Focus better

• Participate in school

• Improve coordination

• Reduce meltdowns

• Develop confidence

• Engage meaningfully with people and the environment

Therapy happens in a sensory gym equipped with swings, textures, weighted tools, balance equipment, and specialized setups — all designed to help the brain organize sensation.

SI Therapy is helpful for children with:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder

• ADHD

• Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)

• Developmental Delays
