What is the difference? 🤔

Well, hypersensitivity is an overreaction to sensory input which leads to a child feeling overwhelmed.

Hyposensitivity is un underreaction where the child needs more intensive stimulation to engage them in activities.

Bilateral integration is any movement that requires you to use both sides of the body. 💪

It is also the foundation skill for many daily activities (using cutlery or scissors, brushing teeth or hair, fine motor skills (drawing, writing) and gross motor skills (cycling, football, throwing a ball).

If your child struggles in the above areas, try some of the ideas in the flyer. 😀

Our Story

Tree Tops has been developed with great foundations in the knowledge of assessment and treatment techniques of children and adults. Our therapists have extensive knowledge into conditions such as DCD, Dyspraxia, ADHD, Attachment Disorder, and Sensory Processing Difficulties. Post graduate training in Sensory Integration has allowed us to introduce this specialised treatment to children and adults on a daily basis to develop their underlying difficulties.

Tree Tops work with many schools, charities and voluntary organisations. We can provide valuable training and programmes which helps with gross/fine motor skills, handwriting, building self-esteem, confidence, behaviour and perception.

Fizzwig (our mascot) and the Tree Topper teddy bears are a vital part of our organisation and go on many adventures with the children or help them with their programmes. Check out our website to see what they all get up to!

We also have a private sensory parent support group which you are more than welcome to join. Here is the link:- https://www.facebook.com/groups/spdpsg/ . A youth group has also been set up which is run through a secret page. If you would like more information please email our office.
