Transforming Therapy with CTC’s Occupational Therapy Interventions

Therapeutic Listening uses specially designed music and sound frequencies to stimulate the brain and improve sensory integration. It helps children with sensory processing difficulties, ADHD, autism, or anxiety regulate their nervous system, reduce stress, and improve focus and attention. This non-invasive approach can support emotional well-being and increase your child's ability to stay calm and engaged in daily activities, both at home and in school.

Interactive Metronome is an engaging therapeutic tool that helps children and teens improve their attention, motor planning, and coordination. By participating in rhythm-based exercises, your child learns to synchronize their movements to a beat, which can boost cognitive processing, impulse control, and physical coordination. This therapy is especially beneficial for children with ADHD, learning disabilities, or developmental delays, and it can support academic and athletic performance.

Reflex Integration therapy targets retained primitive reflexes—automatic movements that should fade as children grow. When these reflexes persist, they can affect motor control, balance, and coordination. Our reflex integration therapy helps children "reorganize" their nervous system, reducing the impact of these reflexes and improving overall function. This therapy is particularly beneficial for children with developmental delays, learning disabilities, or motor coordination issues.

The Sensory Integration/Sensory Diet Toolkit is a collection of personalized activities and interventions designed to support individuals with sensory processing challenges. This toolkit offers a range of sensory experiences tailored to meet the unique needs of each child, helping them effectively manage sensory input throughout daily life. The toolkit may include sensory activities that stimulate, calm, or organize the sensory system, promoting better focus, emotional regulation, and physical comfort (i.e. therapeutic brushing, therapeutic drumming, etc.). Sensory diets are commonly most utilized and beneficial for individuals with autism, ADHD, or other sensory processing disorders, as well as those seeking to enhance sensory awareness and integration.

Astronaut Training is an innovative therapy designed to help children and young adults with sensory processing issues, balance challenges, or developmental delays. This program uses activities that simulate the movements and sensations astronauts experience in space, such as swinging, spinning, and flipping. These activities are carefully structured to promote vestibular system integration, which helps improve balance, coordination, and spatial awareness. Astronaut Training can also enhance sensory regulation, helping children process and respond to sensory input more effectively. Through engaging exercises like rotational movements, balance activities, and head positioning drills, children work to improve their body awareness, focus, and overall sensory processing skills in a fun and interactive way. This therapy is especially beneficial for children with ADHD, autism, sensory processing disorder, or motor coordination difficulties. Astronaut Training offers a dynamic, structured approach that supports physical, cognitive, and emotional growth, helping children become more confident in their movements and better equipped to handle sensory challenges in everyday life.

The Vibration Plate is a therapeutic tool that uses whole-body vibration to help children and teens improve sensory processing and regulation. The rhythmic vibrations stimulate sensory receptors throughout the body, promoting a calming effect and supporting the nervous system’s ability to respond to sensory input more effectively. This therapy is especially beneficial for children with sensory processing disorders, ADHD, or autism, helping them develop better body awareness, improve focus, and achieve a sense of calm. The vibrations engage the proprioceptive system, which is responsible for body awareness and movement, helping children improve their sense of where their body is in space. This can lead to better coordination, reduced sensory overwhelm, and improved emotional regulation. The Vibration Plate is a fun and interactive way to help children manage sensory challenges, reduce anxiety, and improve overall self-regulation skills, making it an excellent addition to a sensory integration therapy plan.
