Sensory processing disorder treatment in Chennai
Some children take in too much sensory information, some too little, and some cannot organise what they take in. The result looks like fussiness, avoidance, constant movement or sudden meltdowns, but the cause is sensory, not behavioural.
Our occupational therapists in Chennai assess how your child responds to touch, sound, movement, sight, taste and body position, then build a sensory programme around real daily routines.

What sensory integration therapy involves

Sensory needs and other diagnoses
Sensory difficulties are common alongside autism and ADHD, and often appear in children with no other diagnosis at all. Either way, the treatment is the same: understand the pattern, then change the demands and build tolerance gradually.
Signs parents often notice
- Covers ears, avoids crowds, distressed by noise
- Refuses certain clothes, textures, foods or messy play
- Constantly moving, crashing, spinning or seeking pressure
- Meltdowns after school or in busy environments

Frequently asked questions
Is sensory processing disorder the same as autism?
No. Sensory difficulties are very common in autistic children, but many children with sensory processing difficulties are not autistic. Assessment tells you what is actually going on.
What does sensory integration therapy cost in Chennai?
We quote an assessment fee and per-session fee upfront, and tell you how many sessions we expect before reviewing progress.
How soon will we see a change?
Many families notice calmer transitions and better tolerance within four to eight weeks, especially when the home sensory plan is followed consistently.
What is a sensory diet?
A planned set of movement and sensory activities spread through the day that keep your child regulated, not a food plan.
