Sensory Integration therapy in los angeles
As our clinical team here at Antelope Valley Care Center helps residents in their recovery, we know that each patient has different needs on their journey. Our team supports each resident with individualized care, which can include sensory integration therapy (SIT) for those residents who need it.
Sensory Integration Therapy, or SIT, is a critical therapy component for many patients living in a skilled nursing facility or care center. It can be a valuable connection to helping patients improve their mood, behavior, and overall health.
What is sensory integration therapy?
Sensory Integration Therapy refers to helping residents with processing and organizing their sensory information to help them adapt and respond to their environment.
SIT helps people connect with their senses to develop self-regulation and become comfortable with their sensory inputs.
how do we utilize sit?
A stay in a skilled nursing community is a big change, and a resident’s road to recovery is easier when they can adapt in their own ways at their own pace. That’s why our team is trained in the latest SIT techniques to help with that process, which can include:
- Gentle massage
- Aromatherapy
- Music therapy
- Outside exploration
- Tactile sensory blankets
- Visual experiences
- Lighting changes
- Contrast and color schemes
- Minimizing noise
- Removing clutter
- Adjusting temperature
