About
Sensory Processing/Integration
"Sensory integration is the ability to organize sensory information for use... that enables man to interact effectively with the environment" (Ayers)
We constantly receive sensory information (vision, auditory, tactile etc.), and then the brain interprets it and turns it into appropriate motor and behavioral responses. When the information is not appropriately perceived or organized, it causes us movement, behavioral and functional difficulties. Please refer to Sings of SPD.

Welcome to
Occupational Therapy Services in Tokyo and Yokohama, Japan by an English-speaking Occupational Therapist
ルート
Occupational therapy is a health profession that assists children engage in the activities (self-care, play, and school) they want, need, or are expected to do through meaningful activities.
MISSION
The mission of Root Occupational Therapy Services is to provide children with a strong foundation for developing essential life and academic skills in a safe and playful environment
About
ROOT
Just as a strong tree grows from healthy roots, a solid foundation is essential for a child's development. When a child acquires basic skills (the roots), they naturally progress to higher social and academic abilities (the trunk and leaves). A strong 'root' is indispensable for a child's growth.
At Root Occupational Therapy Services, we prioritize nurturing a child's health and well-being.
