As a result it impairs the child's ability to learn and be successful in the classroom.    WARNING SIGNS Does not like to be hugged or seeks many hugs. Will only eat certain food textures and dislikes some odors. Uncomfortable in clothes. Dislikes various textures and will only wear certain types of clothing. Appears disorganized or gives the appearance that he/she cannot get comfortable. Too much or too little movement. Avoids showers, haircuts and nail cutting. Sleep disturbances. Easily frustrated. The child has a short fuse. Difficulty in school.   Our facility was created to treat children with SI, and we provide daily appointments to those who come to our facility. If you would like more information about SI, occupational therapy and how both affect your child we offer a series of workshops specifically designed to inform parents, educators and therapists.  Phyllis Barrett Samara, our founder, is a certified SI therapist by Sensory Integration International (SII)
