SI disorders occur when there is an abnormal integration of sensory stimuli and experiences flowing from the outside into the child's central nervous system. With reliable testing, the therapist is able to choose the form of therapy appropriately so that the effects are as good as possible.
At the Kids Medic Centre, we take care of the youngest children as well as older children from the angle of SI:
- Infants are invited to consult a physiotherapist who works using the NDT Bobath method and is also an SI Therapist, this is very important as not everyone is qualified to work with the little ones.
- Children up to 4 years of age can already have a diagnosis made by an SI Diagnostician who is specialised in diagnosing young children.
- Children from the age of 4 years already participate in a full diagnosis with an SI Diagnostician.
Depending on the complexity of the problems a child has, diagnosis can take different forms.
Parents themselves are always invited to the first meeting, during which a full history is collected.
The second meeting is with the child in a large room with SI equipment, where the Diagnostician performs the tests in a cool playful atmosphere.
The children usually enjoy this form of play and participate willingly; when this is not the case, the parent is also invited into the room. On the third visit the parents themselves are invited to discuss the diagnosis, or again the child is invited to complete the tests - this is communicated by the SI Diagnostician at the second meeting.
The diagnosis ends with a full document that is clear, transparent and very insightful.
