Information ProcessingTeaching children how to use their thinking for doing, how to use and apply cognitive strategies for participation and learning. Children need to develop 'mind tools' for attention, memory and planning enabling them to become actively and efficiently engaged in the learning process.

Sensory ProcessingThis means we teach children how to more efficiently organise sensory input from their body and their environment for participation and learning. Learn more about sensory processing-based intervention.
