What is sensory integration?



Sensory integration is a treatment for sensory processing disorders. Sensory processing disorders (SPD’s) are neurological impairments which cause children to process environmental sensations in an inappropriate way. SPD’s are often associated with children with developmental disabilities, autism and attention deficits some of the common characteristics of children with SPD’s include: Sensory integration is designed to restore normal effective neurological processing by enhancing the vestibular and proprioceptive systems. What’s known as a sensory diet is designed to expose your child different senses which aims to reduce the unwanted responses. This produces an enhanced ability to concentrate and focus, reduced dysfunctional behaviours, and improvements in nervous system functioning.
