Sensory Attachment Integration (SAI)

Sensory Attachment Integration is a therapeutic approach designed to address the sensory processing needs of individuals who have experienced trauma or have attachment difficulties.

This method focuses on integrating sensory experiences to help regulate emotions and behaviours, fostering a more secure and balanced emotional state.

SAI combines principles from sensory integration therapy and attachment theory to create a tailored therapeutic experience. By engaging in sensory-based activities, children can process and manage their emotions more effectively, enhancing their ability to connect with others and navigate their daily lives.
