Easter Seals of Central Pennsylvania recently opened Silvi Sensory Integration Center, to provide support for people with sensory processing disorders, including autism. The only sense it does not stimulate is smell. Annie Smith, the director of therapy services, delights in showing visitors around. She points out lights, music, bubbles, and vibrations while explaining that each child will have an individualized program. Smith explained, “With a physician’s referral, any family interested in the center can schedule an evaluation.” Joe Fialko, owner of Soundbeam USA, has developed sensory centers for over 15 years and considers the Silvi Center one of the highlights – a transformed former garage.
