When many of the key developmental milestones are not reached in time then children are often diagnosed with Global Developmental Delay, a brain development disorder. Although there is currently no known cure, many children are able to develop further with specialist help.
Children with Global Developmental Delay can suffer from a wide range of limitations, ranging from fine and gross motor skills, speech and language acquisition to social and emotional maturity. Often children with Global Developmental Delay display unusual sensitivities in one or more of the senses: hearing, vision, touch, smell, taste or balance. How the brain processes and perceives these sensory input signals can be altered through structured training programmes, such as the SAS Auditory Activation Method. This can greatly reduce the stress children with Global Developmental Delay often suffer from and help them to respond to everyday sensory input with more ease.
Many children with Global Developmental Delay find it difficult to pay attention, stay focused or concentrate. Most also have poor social skills, lack eye contact or may have retracted into their own inner world, cutting themselves off from the outside world. These behaviours can adversely affect how a child develops and learns. In children with no or limited speech, the poor attention span and limited social contact can play a key role in holding back the emergence of speech.
Sensory Activation Solutions specialises in programmes that encourage a child to acquire speech. This may involve preparatory work to improve attention, social contact and motivation followed by a programme of specially altered music and speech input. Each programme is designed around the needs and abilities of the child and is aimed at helping the child to start speaking.
The five senses – hearing, vision, touch, smell and taste – plus our sense of balance and where our body is in the space around us (proprioception) all contribute to how we learn and develop. How the brain receives, filters, processes and interprets the signals from these senses determines how we perceive reality and how we react, behave and express ourselves. The SAS methods are specifically designed to strengthen sensory processing and improve inter-hemispheric synchronisation and communication. The structured training and coaching programmes improve speech & pronunciation, reading & writing, attention & understanding and lead to better behavioural, social and emotional expression.

Client Feedback - Global Developmental Delay
All clients are requested to complete a post programme questionnaire, evaluating progress in 27 different categories by indicating:
- Great Improvement = +100 score;
- Good Improvement = +67 score;
- Some Improvement = +33 score;
- No Change = 0 score;
- Deterioration = -100 score;
- Not Applicable = not scored.
The aggregated scores will be on a scale from "-100" (all Deteriorate) through "0" (average No Change) to "+100" (all Great Improvement). All positive scores indicate an improvement.
The average scores of the most relevant 10 categories are listed for clients with Asperger's Syndrome / Autistic Spectrum Disorder / Developmental Delay, highest score first. All 27 categories show positive (improvement) results.
