Sensory integration is the process by which the brain processes and organizes information received from various sensory systems of the body, such as vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, as well as proprioceptive and vestibular systems. This process enables an individual to adequately perceive and adapt to the surrounding environment, ensuring effective interaction with the world.

 

Sensory integration is particularly important in childhood, as this is the period when all the body's systems are actively developing. Disruptions in sensory integration can lead to learning difficulties, behavioral problems, and challenges in social adaptation.

 

Sensory integration therapy aims to enhance children's ability to process sensory information. Through specialized exercises and games, therapists help children improve motor skills, coordination, and the ability to concentrate, thereby easing their daily lives and learning processes.
