Sensory Integration Therapy for Children in Gurgaon
For children who are overwhelmed by noise, touch or crowds — or who can't stop seeking movement. Play-based sensory integration therapy, led by occupational therapists, to help everyday life feel calmer.
What sensory integration means for your child
Every moment, our brains take in information from the senses — sound, touch, sight, taste and smell, and two "hidden" senses: vestibular (balance and movement) and proprioception (body position and muscle effort). Sensory integration is how the brain organises all of this so we can stay calm, pay attention and move with confidence.
Research on sensory-based therapies is still developing, so we set measurable, everyday goals with you and review regularly whether the approach is genuinely helping your child.
Some children register sensations too strongly, others too weakly, and many show a mix. That can look like meltdowns over haircuts or clothing labels, covering ears at birthday parties, refusing sand or glue, constant jumping and crashing, or appearing clumsy and tired. Sensory integration therapy is a specialised part of paediatric occupational therapy that helps a child's nervous system respond in a more balanced way.
Signs a sensory assessment may help
Every child has preferences. Consider an assessment if several of these are frequent and get in the way of daily life:
- Distress with everyday sounds — mixers, hand dryers, school bells or crowds
- Strong dislike of certain clothes, socks, hair-brushing, nail-cutting or bathing
- Avoids messy play, sand, paint or certain food textures
- Constantly seeks movement — spinning, jumping, crashing — and finds it hard to sit
- Seems unaware of pain or of how hard they push, pull or hug
- Fearful of swings, slides or having feet off the ground
- Gets overwhelmed and melts down in busy places such as malls or functions
How sensory integration therapy works at Medic Curo
Sensory assessment
We observe your child, use standardised parent questionnaires and talk through daily routines to build a clear sensory profile.
Play-based sessions
Swings, climbing, tactile play and heavy-work activities are graded so your child is challenged just enough — and enjoys it.
A home sensory diet
A practical, personalised plan of calming and alerting activities you can use at home and share with school.
Linked to real goals
We track changes that matter to your family — calmer mornings, haircuts, mealtimes, classroom attention.
Sensory integration therapy is led by our occupational therapists under the guidance of founder Dr. Ina Gupta, a neuro occupational therapist. Where a child also has speech, feeding or learning needs, we coordinate with our speech therapists and special educators so the plan stays joined-up.

Sensory integration therapy — common questions
What is sensory integration therapy?
Sensory integration therapy is a form of occupational therapy that uses structured, playful movement and touch activities — swinging, climbing, deep-pressure and tactile play — to help a child's nervous system process sensory information more comfortably, so that everyday activities feel manageable.
How do I know if my child has sensory processing difficulties?
Common signs include strong reactions to noise, clothing textures, grooming or messy play, constantly seeking movement or crashing into things, or avoiding playground equipment. Many children show a few of these; it becomes worth an assessment when they get in the way of daily life, learning or play.
Is sensory integration therapy only for children with autism?
No. Sensory processing differences are common in autism, but we also see them in children with ADHD, developmental delay, coordination difficulties, premature birth histories and in children with no diagnosis at all.
How long before we see changes?
It varies from child to child. Families often notice small changes in calmness, tolerance or participation within the first weeks of regular sessions and home strategies, while broader changes build over months. We review goals with you regularly.
