Sensory Integration Training

( SIT )

The Essential Learning Institute’s (ELI) program for students with learning difficulties is based on Sensory Integration Training (SIT), a series of neurological exercises that interlink the visual, auditory and motor pathways in the brain in order to aid the implanting of information.

In its simplest form, SIT stimulates the brain in one sensory mode, asks for a recall of information from memory using a second sensory mode, and then asks for a response using a third sensory mode. By going through this simple, multi-modality task, correctly sequenced and timed, the brain proceeds to interlock the sensory pathways or "patterns" of neural connections.

According to research, the connections that take place during learning increase, and within a matter of minutes following training, new connections are in place. These connections are the basis for memory retention of any skill. Repetition of the skill reinforces it and places it more firmly into long-term memory. SIT provides massive multi-sensory stimulation through simple interlinking sequences to affect this learning process.

In this way, the brain is provided with so many positively reinforced and correct neurological stimuli that it proceeds to select proper learning pathways. Learning then takes place easily and fluidly. SIT produces learning that is reflexive or natural as opposed to cognitive.

We are eager to assist you and know our program will make a difference. We will commit ourselves to your child’s success.
