Sensorial integration is the ability of the Central Nervous System (CNS) to interpret and organize information received from all the sensations we experience from our own body, as well as from the outside ( taste, view, ear, touch, smell, movement, gravity and position in space), for use.
When sensations are integrated, the brain uses them to create perceptions, behaviors and learning, allowing us to relate to the environment or respond to situations in a meaningful way.
Where this process is not properly conducted, specialized Occupational therapist should evaluate and provide specific and individualized treatment.
