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.

English-Speaking Occupational Therapy Services in Tokyo and Yokohama, Japan
ルート
Occupational therapy is a healthcare profession that supports children in developing the skills they need to participate fully in everyday activities—such as self-care, play, learning, and social interaction. By using meaningful and purposeful activities tailored to each child's needs, occupational therapists help promote growth, independence, and confidence in daily life.
MISSION
At Root Occupational Therapy Services, our mission is to provide children with a strong and supportive foundation for developing essential life and academic skills. We are committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and playful environment where each child feels empowered to grow, explore, and succeed at their own pace.
About
ROOT
Just as a strong tree grows from healthy roots, a child’s development depends on a solid foundation. When foundational skills—such as motor coordination, emotional regulation, and sensory processing—are well established (the roots), children can naturally grow into more advanced social, emotional, and academic abilities (the trunk and leaves). A strong foundation is essential for overall growth and lifelong learning.
At Root Occupational Therapy Services, we are dedicated to nurturing each child’s health, confidence, and well-being through playful, purposeful, and developmentally appropriate activities that support this vital growth.
