the Ayres Sensory Integration Protocol

The Ayres Sensory Integration Protocol is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals with sensory processing challenges. It involves activities that provide tailored, meaningful sensory experiences—such as touch, movement, and balance—to help the brain better interpret and respond to sensory information. The goal is to improve daily functioning by supporting the nervous system's ability to organize sensory input more effectively. Conducted by trained occupational therapists, the protocol emphasizes play and engagement, aiming to reduce sensory-related difficulties and enhance skills like focus, coordination, and emotional regulation.
