The treatment for Sensory Integration Dysfunction is a series of exercises and activities designed to promote the organization of the senses. An Occupational Therapist who is trained in Sensory Integration can work with the child on a regular basis and provide suggestions for parents to do activities and exercises at home that will promote the integration of the senses.
Here are some sites listing home activities to assist your child develop sensory integration skills:

Had I known, all those years ago (9) that my son was suffering from Sensory Integration Dysfunction I would have certainly implemented some exercises and activities to assist him. In case you are wondering, it is never too late to start these exercises and activities at home. I came across one article written by an Occupational Therapist who stated that the oldest person she treated was 39 and after a few months of therapy some sensory issues were resolved. The parents that I have spoken to regarding Sensory Integration exercises all recommend that these activies be made into a "fun time" and incorporated in your daily schedule. You may want to enlist the help of an Occupational Therapist before you start trying to help your child.
