Here's What Your Child Will Learn

 
 
 
 
  • How to strengthen skills for everyday activities such as cooking a meal or getting ready for school or work by breaking down tasks into their smaller, more manageable, parts for them to practice and master. 
  • How to mininise anxiety caused by sensory environments such as touch, taste, sound, light or social interactions.
  • How to build executive skills such as planning, organisation, time management, working memory, response inhibition, and managing emotions and thoughts in order to function effectively.

What is Oasis Place's Approach to Occupational Therapy?

Occupational Therapy with Sensory Integration

Oasis Place's occupational therapists are certified to work with Sensory integration (SI) therapy. SI is essentially a form of occupational therapy that involves specific sensory activities to help a child appropriately respond to light(visual), sound(auditory), touch(tactile), smells(auditory), space and balance(vestibular), body parts(proprioception), internal organs (interoception) and other inputs.

DIR / Floortime Model

The Developmental, Individual Difference, Relationship-based (DIR®️/Floortime™️) Model is a framework that helps clinicians, parents and educators conduct a comprehensive assessment and develop an intervention program tailored to the unique challenges and strengths of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Floortime is a relationship-based therapy for children with autism. The intervention is called Floortime because the parent gets down on the floor with the child to play and interact with the child at their level.

Social Emotional Communication  

We work with individuals and in groups to develop self-awareness, self-control, and interpersonal skills that are vital for school, work, and life success. Strong social-emotional skills will assist every individual to cope with everyday challenges and benefit academically, professionally, and socially. Our key approach is using Michel Garcia Winner's Social Thinking ® curriculum .The goal is to help individual learn explicitly how to engage in social information processing; how to attend, interpret, problem solve and respond in any situation—the thinking and doing skills that will aid them in becoming increasingly successful in the social world throughout their lives.

The Alert Program : How Does Your Engine Run?

As occupational therapists, we teach that self-regulation to have the ability to change how alert we feel.The Alert Program®️ is based on how the body processes sensory information. It trains parents, teachers and children to learn about the importance of self-regulation. This is a practical approach to help choose strategies to change or maintain appropriate states of alertness at home, school, or other settings.

Motor, Oral, Respiratory and Eye (M.O.R.E)

M.O.R.E. is an acronym for Motor components, Oral organization, Respiratory demands, and Eye contact and control. Occupational therapists works with elements of toys and items that can be used to facilitate integration of the mouth with sensory and postural development, as well as self-regulation and attention.

Therapeutic Listening

Therapeutic Listening is an evidence-based auditory(listening) intervention used to support individuals who experience challenges with sensory processing dysfunction, listening, attention and communication. Therapeutic Listening uses specific sound-based intervention that is embedded in a developmental and sensory integration perspective.

Wilbarger Protocol & Sensory Diet  

The Wilbarger Protocol (also referred to as brushing therapy) developed by Patricia Wilbarger, MEd, OTR, FAOTA. It is often a part of a sensory integration or sensory therapy program. People who exhibit  symptoms of tactile defensiveness are extremely sensitive to touch. The technique involves using a Therapressure Brush on the individual's skin, using very firm pressure; it is like a deep pressure massage.

Oasis Place's occupational therapists are registered with the Malaysian Occupational Therapy Association and are both locally and internationally trained. We use evidence based interventions and protocol.
