#268 - Sensory Integration with Visual Impairments

Welcome to another All Things Sensory by Harkla podcast episode!

In today’s episode, we discuss the challenges faced by children with visual impairments and how sensory integration therapy can be beneficial.

Studies have shown that children with visual impairments are at a higher risk of experiencing sensory processing difficulties. Sensory integration therapy has been found to be effective in helping children with visual impairments navigate their environment and improve their overall sensory processing abilities.

We explore practical strategies and approaches that can be incorporated into daily routines to support children with visual impairments. These may involve the use of multisensory techniques, such as incorporating bright colors, tactile objects, and auditory components to enhance their sensory experiences.

Join us as we dive into the world of sensory integration for visual impairments, and discover how this therapy can make a positive difference in the lives of children with visual impairments.
