Our team supports each resident with individualized holistic care, which includes SIT for residents who would benefit from it.
What is Sensory Integration Therapy?
Explanation
SIT refers to helping residents with processing and organizing sensory information that they see, hear, touch, taste, and smell to help them adapt and respond to their environment.
Benefits
SIT helps people connect with their 5 senses to develop self-regulation and become comfortable with their sensory inputs again.
