Research Notes on Sensory Integration
Sensory integration (SI) involves how the brain processes external and internal sensory information.1 This information can be any or all sensations of touch, sound, taste, sight and smell.1 Response to these sensations in addition to coordination, movement, body awareness and attentiveness all involve sensory integration.2 3
Fast Facts:
- Sensory integration theory first investigated and defined by occupational therapist and developmental psychologist, Dr. A. Jean Ayres.4
- Sensory integration is typically developed naturally during infancy as the child explores and responds the world around him.1
- Difficulty processing sensory information may signal a sensory integration dysfunction which is best determined during an evaluation with an occupational therapist (OT) specializing in sensory integration. 5
