Note that the heading is Sensory Integrated Behavioral Therapy, verses Sensory Integration Therapy.  Part of Eclectic Behavioral Therapy is understanding that behaviors are often driven by sensory needs.  However, it is very common for parents, teachers and therapists to inadvertently reinforce sensory driven behaviors, which may then result in attention-seeking or escape driven behaviors. That being said, sensory integration is real, and for many with sensory integration disorders it can be very scary and overwhelming. When the central nervous system integrates sensory information incorrectly, a person’s behavior can be driven by the need to seek or escape various types of sensory input.

Eric has over five years of clinical experience helping children and adolescents decrease negative sensory-driven behaviors by helping implement behaviorally-integrated sensory-smart coping strategies.  Eric can work with you and your Occupational Therapist to help you integrate smart behavioral principles to maximize a sensory diet.
