Tiered Sensory Integration Occupational Therapy support
Aroa offers tiered Sensory Integration Occupational Therapy support to meet a range of needs.
Support may be provided at a universal, targeted or specialist level, depending on the child or young person’s sensory profile and the context in which they are being supported.
This tiered model enables early support where appropriate and more specialist intervention where required, ensuring efficient and effective use of resources.
