At Sensory Therapy Place (STP), our mission is to empower individuals and their families to thrive by fostering their physical, emotional, and developmental well-being.
At Sensory Therapy Place, we are committed to incorporate evidenced-based techniques to build a strong nervous system and supporting brain development through extensive process of sensory integration and primitive reflex integration involving a comprehensive approach that nurtures the foundational aspects of brain plasticity and functioning.
Our emphasis involves collaborating with clients spanning various age groups who confront neurological conditions, concussions, traumatic brain injuries, and delayed developmental milestones in pediatric cases. In this context, we approach treatment by considering the brain and body as interconnected entities, devising a strategy to seamlessly blend their functions.
Sensory Therapy Place is a start-up business owned by me (Earl), I am a licensed occupational therapist. I graduated from Husson University in 2020 and my work experiences includes working in school systems in the greater Bangor area, skilled-nursing facility, neurorehabilitation, and psychiatric hospital. At Sensory Therapy Place, my approach is committed to personalized care. Understanding that every child is unique, my approach to each individual is working closely with families and caregivers to create a comprehensive and effective treatment plan. Whether it's helping a client overcome symptoms of sensory processing difficulties, aiding in rehabilitation of bodily dysfunction, or providing cognitive training, my dedication knows no bounds.
What is pediatric OT? Occupational therapists use their expertise to create a sensory-rich space that offers a range of sensory experiences, such as tactile, visual, auditory, and proprioceptive stimuli. The gym may include equipment like swings, climbing structures, sensory bins, crash pad, balance beams, and interactive light panels. Each activity is carefully designed to help individuals regulate their sensory responses, improve motor coordination, enhance social interaction, and foster cognitive development.
Why sensory gym? The goal of having a sensory gym is to create a supportive and therapeutic environment where individuals can engage in purposeful play and structured activities that facilitate sensory exploration, self-regulation, and skill development. By combining the expertise of occupational therapy with a sensory-rich play space, the Sensory Therapy Place offers a unique and effective approach to helping individuals of all ages improve, restore, learn, acquire a skill to live life with endless possibilities and improve quality of life.
