Sensory integration disorders occur when the brain has difficulty processing and responding to sensory information from the environment. This can affect how a person experiences sights, sounds, touch, taste, and movement. Individuals may become overwhelmed by sensory input or may not respond to stimuli that others find noticeable. People with sensory integration disorders may struggle with everyday activities, such as playing, learning, or socializing. They might seek out certain sensations or avoid others, leading to challenges in their daily lives. Treatment often involves therapies that help improve sensory processing skills and promote better responses to sensory experiences.
