Sensory Integration
Our senses provide us with information about our body and its relationship to the environment around us. They tell us where our body is positioned in space, how our body is moving, what impact the environment is having on our body and what is happening in the environment, as well as helping us in knowing how to effectively respond to task and environmental demands.
Sensory Integration (SI) – also known as sensory processing – is the process through which sensory inputs into our sensory systems are received, organised, interpreted and turned into purposeful physical and behavioural responses by our central nervous system.
Sometimes sensory integration does not develop as efficiently as it should. We can all show signs of sensory integration difficulties, but for those individuals where it has a clear impact on daily life it is recognised as a clinical disorder - Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).
It is difficult to provide a definitive list of symptoms as each individual can be affected in different ways and to varying degrees. Symptoms can include:
