Sensory Integration

What is Sensory Integration?

Sensory integration or Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) refers to how people use the information provided by all the sensations coming from within the body and from the external environment. In contrast, sensory integrative dysfunction is a disorder in which sensory input is not integrated or organized appropriately in the brain and may produce varying degrees of problems in development.
