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
English-Speaking Occupational Therapy Services in Tokyo and Yokohama, Japan
ルート
Occupational therapy is a health profession that helps children participate in everyday activities—such as self-care, play, and school—by using meaningful and purposeful tasks to support their development and independence.
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, nurturing, 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 masters basic skills (the roots), they naturally grow into higher social and academic abilities (the trunk and leaves). A strong foundation is vital for a child's overall growth.
At Root Occupational Therapy Services, we focus on nurturing a child's health and well-being to support this development.
