WELCOME TO MY SENSORY WORLD!
What is Targeted Sensory-Motor Training?- TSMT
Targeted Sensory-Motor Training is an early intervention program designed for children with developmental delays in the cognitive, motor/movement and social areas due to immaturity of the nervous system. It typically benefits children between the ages of 1 - 7 years.
HOW TSMT WORKS?
Imagine a six-lane highway with the traffic moving smoothly and efficently. This is how we can describe a mature and highly-functioning nervous system.
Now imagine a scenario where the lanes are reduced to only two and the surface road is rough. This is how we can think of the immature and less efficient nervous system where information is reduced in its ability to flow.
With TSMT we stimulate the immature areas of the brain with varied and consciously planned movements thereby stimulating and creating new pathways so that the information reaches its destination.
Isn't that fantastic? Our bodies is capable of far more than we realise!
Individual Targeted Sensory-Motor Training is recommended for children between 1 - 7 years who are displaying one or more of the following symptoms:
Delayed language and speech development
Delayed gross motor and fine motor development
Shortness of attention and inability to concentrate
Behavioral problems
Irrepressible desire for continuous movement
Sensory processing disorders
Lack of cooperation
Central nervous system injury under the age of 5
School maturity difficulties
Regulation disorders (eating, sleeping)
Learning-based disorders (Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia)
Childhood Autism (when the child is uncooperative)
Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD and ADD
Weakness of control functions

This is how we do the training :)
Developing arm control and attention through synchronised activities using force distribution.
Development of balance, arm-body control, synchronised functions.
Focusing on balance through activities design to improve coordination body control and concentration.
