ABOUT 
US
The Kioko Center has been providing expert 
occupational and speech therapy 
services to children and young adults, ages 
birth to 21 years, since 2006. During that 
time, we have developed the highest 
quality standards for our therapies and 
services. Our staff are highly trained and 
prepared to integrate the latest therapy 
techniques into your child’s sessions. We 
provide comprehensive, individualized 
therapies which facilitate overall 
development and independence. We look to 
our name, Kioko, meaning “Happy Child” in 
Japanese as a guiding principle for our 
work.
OUR 
SERVICES
01
SENSORY  
INTEGRATION
SENSORY PROCESSING OR SENSORY INTEGRATION REFERS TO 
HOW OUR BODY RECEIVES, UNDERSTANDS, AND USES 
INFORMATION FROM THE SENSES. ONE COMPONENT OF THIS 
PROCESS IS SENSORY INTEGRATION, WHICH INCLUDES 
INTERPRETATION, COORDINATION, AND ORGANIZATION OF 
SENSATION. EFFICIENT SENSORY INTEGRATION ENABLES US TO 
PLAN APPROPRIATE ACTION AND BEHAVIOR AND LEARN NEW 
SKILLS. SENSORY INFORMATION COMES FROM ALL SENSES AND 
MAY ORIGINATE FROM ONE’S BODY (BALANCE SENSE, JOINT 
AND MUSCLE SENSE, TOUCH SENSE) OR THE ENVIRONMENT 
(SIGHT, SOUND, TEMPERATURE, AND TEXTURE).  THE TWO 
SENSORY INTEGRATION COMPONENTS ARE SENSORY 
MODULATION AND SENSORY DISCRIMINATION. 
SELF 
REGULATION
Self-regulation is our bodies ability to attain, 
maintain, and change arousal appropriately for a task 
or situation. (Williams & Shellenberger, 1994, p 1-5) It 
is our ability to manage your own energy states, 
emotions, behaviors, and attention, in ways that are 
socially acceptable and help achieve positive goals 
such as maintaining good relationships learning and 
maintaining wellbeing.”
