Sheena's Child Development Centre

"Integrating our Senses for Learning"

Sheena Wilson

Director

Sheena has been providing therapy programmes in the UAE for 30 years. The programmes are based on Sensory Integration, the Neurophysiology of human development, to provide children with the skills for playing, learning and living. Sheena offers screenings and assessments to identify what support your child needs for them to live their best life.

Commited to helping your child shine in school and life

Your Child is born with a potential to learn. Developing your child’s learning skills requires a well developed sensory motor system. The sensory motor system is the neurological foundation of the brain and body that gives your child the skills for learning. Play is how a child develops the skills for learning. Children need learning skills for teachers to teach them. Children learn and teacher’s teach. Let’s explore how the sensory motor system of your child’s body develops the learning skills to improve their academic performance in school.
