When you feel an itch, your instinct is to scratch it. Your body is simply responding to a sensation and trying to find relief.

Ms Kathleen Appau, .appau Doctoral OT Student from shares some information on impact of sensory processing concerns on attention and regulation in children.

For many children with sensory processing differences, their bodies experience sensations in ways that can feel overwhelming, uncomfortable, or difficult to interpret. In response, they may move, fidget, spin, crash, chew, avoid, or seek certain activities. These behaviors are often the child’s way of trying to regulate their body and make sense of the sensory information around them.

What may appear as “restlessness” or “inattention” is often the nervous system asking for the input it needs in order to feel organized and ready to focus.

When we understand behavior through a sensory lens, we shift from asking “Why are they behaving this way?” to “What sensory input might their body need right now?”

At SENA Pediatric Therapy Centre, we support children through sensory integration approaches that help their bodies feel more regulated, so they can attend, learn, and participate with greater ease.

If your child “holds it together” at school but melts down at home — that’s not bad behaviour. It may be masking and masking is exhausting. Home should be the safe place.

It’s exciting to have .appau Doctoral student in occupational therapy from doing her capstone project in Ghana 🇬🇭 in collaboration with . As part of her capstone experience, she is spending time at Sena Pediatric Therapy Center.

She comes up with this amazing idea of going on a speed tour of the center. This was after a chaotic Saturday session however idea was there so we just went for it.

Let’s all welcome .appau to the center

Join our school where your ward receives consistent education and therapy aimed at unearthing their hidden talents and maximizing potentials.

Potty training is more than just sitting on the toilet — it requires body awareness, balance, coordination, and motor planning.

In this activity, laminated paper is placed around the legs of a chair and children sit while reaching to clean marker spots using tissue. This playful setup mimics the movements needed during toileting routines.

Steps involved
Sit securely on the chair
Rotate the body to the side or back
Reach across midline
Use tissue to wipe marker spots
Return to upright sitting

Processes targeted
Trunk rotation and core stability
Bilateral coordination
Motor planning
Postural control
Body awareness
Functional reaching

Benefits
Builds skills needed for effective wiping during potty training
Improves independence in toileting routines
Enhances coordination and balance
Supports confidence with self care tasks

At SENA Pediatric Therapy Centre, we break functional skills into meaningful play so children learn naturally and confidently.

Simple. Playful. Powerful.

In this video, we are showing you three easy sensory-based activities you can try at home using items you likely already have. Each activity is carefully layered to gradually increase your child’s thinking, attention, language, and fine motor demands.

Activity 1: Squeeze and Transfer
Dipping foam into water and squeezing it into another bowl may look simple, but it builds bilateral coordination, hand strength, attention, motor planning, and endurance. It also supports language as you model words like squeeze, wet, full, empty, more, and stop. This is a foundational activity and perfect for children who are just learning to sit and engage.

Activity 2: Single-Color Sorting in Rice
Now we increase the challenge. Instead of just squeezing, the child searches for one specific color hidden inside mixed rice. This builds visual discrimination, sustained attention, problem-solving, and fine motor precision. You can expand language by asking: “Can you find yellow?” “How many do you have?” “Is this yellow or not?”

Activity 3: Multi-Color Sorting in Sand
This is the upgrade. The child now searches for three different colors inside a more complex sensory bin with sand, stones, and sea creatures. This strengthens visual perceptual skills, cognitive flexibility, categorization, working memory, and longer sitting tolerance. You can increase language by giving two-step directions or asking the child to describe what they found.

Notice the progression.
We move from simple motor work → to focused visual search → to higher-level sorting and thinking.

These kinds of activities support:
• Attention and concentration
• Language development
• Visual perceptual skills
• Fine motor development
• Sitting tolerance and task endurance
• Problem solving

And most importantly, they make learning feel like play.

At SENA Pediatric Therapy Centre, we always say that development does not need to be complicated. With the right structure and small upgrades, everyday play can become powerful therapy.

Try it at home and watch your child grow.

How do you continue teaching effectively when your child is constantly seeking movement and finding it hard to sit still?

Sometimes the answer is not “sit down” — it is “let us move and learn.”

In this session, the therapist is asking flashcard questions while the child swings on a platform swing. He is regulating, his body is organized, and his brain is ready to process.

Movement is not a distraction. For many children, movement is the gateway to attention, language, and learning.

When we meet the sensory need first, we unlock engagement.
This is what therapy looks like when it is individualized, innovative, and child-centered.

At SPTC we understand why a child would seek for more movement and we use sensory based techniques and a holistic approach to address concerns identified.
