What is senses integrations?

Sensory integration (SI) is the process by which the brain processes and interprets information received from the senses. It is a critical component of learning and development, and any disruption to this process can lead to difficulties in learning, behavior, and overall functioning.

Sensory integration therapy is an approach to helping individuals with sensory processing difficulties. The goal of therapy is to improve the individual's ability to process sensory information, which can improve attention, behavior, emotional regulation, and social interactions.

There are several techniques used in sensory integration therapy, including deep pressure, joint compression, vestibular stimulation, tactile stimulation, visual stimulation, auditory stimulation, and proprioceptive stimulation. These techniques are used to provide the individual with a range of sensory experiences that can help their brain process sensory information more efficiently.

Sensory integration therapy is often used with individuals with autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, developmental delays, and other neurological disorders. It can also be beneficial for individuals who have experienced trauma or who struggle with anxiety or sensory overload.
