Sensory Integration

The brain’s ability to organize and interpret information received through the senses such as touch, sight, smell, taste, sound, and movement.

Sensory Types:

Avoidance - Resists and avoids ordinary demands of life. For example, avoiding physical touch and certain textures like wet floor, sand, and slime.

Seeking - Actively seeks out sensory stimulations. For example, sugar cravings, eating or chewing non-edible things, staring into spaces for long.

Vestibular - Helps to regulate our sense of balance and body control. For example, clumsy movements and leaning.

Proprioception - Involves body awareness, position, and movement. For example, fear of toileting and fear of heights.
