Sensory integration is the process by which the brain organizes and interprets information from the senses, such as sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. This allows individuals to respond appropriately to their environment. Effective sensory integration helps with daily activities, learning, and social interactions. Difficulties in sensory integration can lead to challenges in processing sensory information, which may affect behavior and development. This is often seen in individuals with conditions like autism or sensory processing disorder. Therapies aimed at improving sensory integration can help individuals better manage sensory input and enhance their overall functioning.
