How TheraTogs Can Help with Managing Developmental Delay Competent limb use begins with trunk and pelvic alignment and control and with adequate body awareness and sensory input. Therefore, regardless of the cause or level of severity of a delay in development, we recommend beginning to use TheraTogs garments to support the acquisition of these fundamental, […]

Roley et al (2007) explained the SI theories and approach, and reviewed the work of its originator, A. Jean Ayers PhD, OTR. [1] Drawing on motor control theories, Ayres proposed these hypotheses that underscored her treatment approaches: Perceptual awareness supports and facilitates occupational engagement. Motor learning is influenced by, if not dependent upon, incoming sensation. […]
