About Sensory Play
Sensory Play is the leading pediatric sensory gym and occupational therapy practice in Riverdale, NY. We treat infants and children with gross and fine motor delays, coordination challenges, sensory processing disorder, deficits in visual motor integration, handwriting problems, eating difficulties and other conditions.
We conduct comprehensive standardized evaluations and use a wide variety of therapeutic approaches, including Sensory Integration (SI), Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT), Myofascial Release, Intelligence Integration, Astronaut Training, Balametrics, Integrated Listening Systems, Therapeutic Listening and Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) Approach to Feeding.
We look at each child holistically to select the therapeutic interventions that best match the child’s needs. We empower children, using a warm, supportive and playful environment so that they can fulfill their motor, cognitive and emotional potential. We also empower parents through guidance and training as an integral part of our interventions.
