Sensory Integration is the process by which our brain organizes and interprets information from our senses, such as sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. This ability helps us understand and interact with the world around us. For example, when we hear a dog barking, our brain quickly processes that sound, allowing us to recognize it and respond appropriately. Some individuals, especially those with conditions like autism or sensory processing disorder, may struggle with sensory integration. They might find certain sounds overwhelming or have difficulty with textures. Occupational therapy often helps these individuals improve their sensory processing skills, making daily activities more manageable and enjoyable.
