Taking That First Step For Sensory Integration Therapy is The Best Decision We Made For Our Son, and It Could Be For Your Child too...

My son was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in 2017, and later with Attention Deficit Disorder in 2022. As a parent, hearing those diagnoses was overwhelming. Like many moms, I had so many questions and concerns about my son's future, his development, and his ability to thrive. He had ongoing challenges with speech, body coordination, and emotional regulation. I wanted him to succeed in school, make friends, and experience the joy of social connections, but it felt like there were so many obstacles in his way.

We went to so many clinics and did so many therapies for sure and most of them were pretty standard. We found Lifeskills Sensory Integration Therapy through a family referral, and from the moment we stepped through the doors, I knew we had found a place that truly understood our journey. The team was warm, professional, and took the time to really listen to my concerns. They didn't just see the diagnoses on paper; they saw my son, with all his quirks, strengths, and potential.

The evaluation process was incredibly thorough. They assessed his body awareness, social skills, emotional regulation, and sensory needs, but what really stood out was the care and patience they showed every step of the way. It wasn’t just about ticking boxes on a form—it was about getting to know my child and tailoring a plan that fit him. I appreciated that they involved me in every decision, explaining their findings and guiding me through the next steps.

Since starting therapy at Lifeskills, I’ve seen so much progress in my son. He’s learning how to better regulate his emotions, and his speech clarity is improving. The team has given him tools to navigate social situations more confidently, and his body coordination has come a long way. They understand his sensory needs and work with him in ways that make him feel comfortable and supported. I can’t express how much it means to see him thriving, and to know that he’s in a place where he feels safe and encouraged to grow.

To any parent out there who is worried about their child’s development or unsure where to start, I highly recommend bringing your child to LifeSkills Sensory Integration Therapy for an evaluation. This clinic isn’t just about therapy sessions; it’s about hope, progress, and giving your child the tools they need to succeed in their own unique way.

Taking that first step is the best decision we made for our son, and it could be for your child too.
