Dance/Movement Therapy is the therapeutic use of movement to further the emotional, cognitive, physical, spiritual and social integration of the individual (American Dance Therapy Association, 2016). Unlike a dance class, Dance/Movement therapy is usually done individually or small selective groups (with a maximum of 5 participants). It focuses on achieving the bio-psycho-social goals through structured and improvisational movement experiences. When used with children and adolescents with extra needs, Dance/Movement Therapy can be used to further body awareness and control, improve focus and attention, enhance social skills, nurture confidence and self esteem, reduce anxiety, improve self expression, further body use and function, and so much more.

At MWC, we work hand-in-hand with an expert Pediatrician, Child Psychologist, Special Educator, and Language and speech therapist to analyze the strengths and limitations and then plan the intervention.

Sensory integration

Sensory Integration Therapy is designed to help kids with sensory processing issues. This type of therapy aims to adjust the way children respond to physical sensations. Sensory integration therapy is based on the idea that some kids experience sensory overload and are oversensitive to certain types of stimulation. Meanwhile, other children are under-sensitive to some kinds of stimulation, they may seem disconnected from their environment. In either case, children with sensory integration issues struggle to organize, understand and respond to the information they take in from their surroundings.

Sensory integration therapy is designed primarily for children with sensory processing issues. This may include children who have ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and dyspraxia. It might also be used with young children who show signs of developmental delays.
