Dr. Sheikh and staff

Every day, parents ask us, "My child has been diagnosed with (Autism, PDD, ADD/ADHD, ABI, etc.)... can the Sensory LearningSM Program help us?"

We work with children and adults to improve perception, understanding and the ability to learn. The Sensory Learning Program is not a treatment. It is not a curative. It is an innovative approach to developmental learning that unites three modalities (visual, auditory and vestibular) into one intervention allowing individuals to better integrate sensory messages.

Providing services that help to produce the highest functional outcomes for our clients is a key goal for both myself and my staff members. ( Mona, Prabhjot, Rupinder, Roxan, Robin, Lashatoya and Morgan )

When this happens, lives change.

We have seen improved auditory processing, better balance and coordination, greatly improved eye contact and "presence", improved situational awareness, more confidence, general visual processing improvements, changes to more age-appropriate behaviors and the list goes on and on.

If you or someone you love suffers from delays in motor skills, irregular sleep and activity patterns, or problems with sensory processing, Dr. Firdos Sheikh would like to introduce you to a new way of life.

For more than 10 years, sensory learning has successfully treated these issues with a 92% success rate nationwide. The Sensory Learning Program, now being offered in Folsom by Dr. Sheikh, provides a non-invasive, yet extremely effective solution for individuals and families touched by sensory integration issues. The program, integrates the senses to replace or rebuild missing or lost sensory skills, smoothens over stimulation issues, improves speech and language delays, coordination problems, behavioral issues, and a series of other sensory-related challenges.

Dr. Sheikh is proud to bring the Sensory Learning Program to the greater Sacramento area and looks forward to improving your family’s quality of life.

Call 916-350-4550 and visit sensorylearning.com to learn more about the program and access a Child Assessment Form.

At Revolutions Natural Medical Solutions, Dr. Morgan’s focus is placed on the relationship between the patient and their family, while being centered on the whole person, and making use of all appropriate therapeutic approaches, alternative and conventional.

After spending thousands of dollars on doctors who could not even remember our child's name, we were frustrated. Finding Doctor Morgan was a gift. His approach was insightful, refreshing, and individualized. He cared more about the needs of our daughter, than pushing a "one treatment plan for all" agenda. Instead of trying to shove us out of his office for the next client, he took time to really listen to us. He returned emails, filled last minute prescriptions, and returned panicked phone calls. A doctor with this care and attention to your child is rare in the autism field. You will encounter many physicians who will make big promises, but will never take the time to walk the journey with you. Dr. Morgan not only walks with  you, but is a guide down the long road. —K. P., Queen Creek, AZ
