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 to participate in occupations (self-care, play and school) they want to, need to or are expected to do through meaningful activities.
MISSION
The mission of Root Occupational Therapy Services is to provide children with foundation for developing life and academic skills in a safe and playful environment.
About
ROOT
Like a strong tree grows on healthy roots, a good foundation is essential for a child's development. When a child gains basic skills (root), he/she will naturally become capable of higher social and academic skills/functions (trunk and leaves). Good “Root” is indispensable for a child.
Root Occupational Therapy Services would like to cherish a child's health and well-being.
