integration
process of making whole
- unifying
- allowing the brain to use the information that the senses take in
turns sensation into perception
-
sensory integration
a process that occurs in the brain
organization of sensation for use
concerned with how effectively and efficiently a person is able to use information from the sensory systems
process of the CNS to sort out, process, and interpret sensory information to make an adaptive motor response.
develops naturally through ordinary childhood activities
-
sensory integration
need to function in daily activities, in play and in relationships
child successful in school
-
3 sensory systems
tactile/touch
- 2.vestibular information-unconscious info from inner ear about
- equilibrium,
- gravity,
- movement,
- change in position in space
- 3. proprioceptive information-
- unconscious position in space
-
nystagmus
prapid movement of eyeball
measure vestibular processing with spinning motion
-
kinesthetic information
conscious awareness of joint pposition/movement
our brain combines info from outside body(vision, hearing,. touch, taste, smell) with info from inside the body(received via inner ear/muscles/joints) to form conscious awareness of one's body in all activities.
-
reflex maturation
dev postural responses and equilibrium responses
-
developing their concept of body scheme
brain's map of body part and how the inter-relate
-
body scheme
awareness of what position your body and body parts are in-how they relate to each other
understanding "how my body is put together"
-
body image
conscious or unconscious image of one's body
how I see myself
-
developing motor planning/praxis
performance of purposeful movements or groups of movements related to non-familiar motor tasks
motor planning is involved as we learn new activities/movements
-
developing bilateral integration
brain's ability to allow its right and left sides to work together
-
perceptual motor skills
body coordination
eye hand coordination
visual space perception
auditory language skills
- w/ these skills-child is prepared for:
- reading
- behavior control
- writing
- independent work
- arthmetic/math
- problem-solving
- academic skill/psychosocial dev
-
sensory integration
concerned with processing of sensory info below the level where perception and congnition occur:
- perception/congnition:
- cortical function of the brain
- sensory integration:
- subcortical function of the brain(we don't think about it)
-
Sensory integration
- does not deal w/ sensosry deficits(vision-hearing loss)
- but
- processing of sensory info in the CNS
-
sensory integration
involves central rather than peripheral sensory functions
-
sensory integration therapy effecgtive:
- with those who can not:
- process
- organize
- integrate sensory info due to
- neurological
- psychosocial
- environment deficits
