SENSORY INTIGRATION in human body

1. Sensory diet
and
Sensory integration

2. Sensory integration is the process by which we receive information through our senses,
organize this information, and use it to participate in everyday activities.

3.  Sight (Vision)
 Hearing (Auditory)
 Smell (Olfactory)
 Taste (Gustatory)
 Touch (Tactile)
 Vestibular (Movement): the movement and balance sense, which gives us
information about where our head and body are in space. Helps us stay upright
when we sit, stand, and walk.
• Proprioception (Body Position): the body awareness sense, which tells us where
our body parts are relative to each other. It also gives us information about how
much force to use, allowing us to do something like crack an egg while not
crushing the egg in our hands.

5. +
• Sensory integration therapy aims to help kids with sensory
processing issues (which some people may refer to as
“sensory integration disorder”) by exposing them to
sensory stimulation in a structured, repetitive way. The
theory behind it is that over time, the brain will adapt and
allow kids to process and react to sensations more
efficiently.

6. Sensory diet
• A “sensory diet” is a treatment strategy used to manage sensory
processing dysfunction.
• it is a group of sensory activities that are scheduled into a child,s day
to assist with attention ,arousal and adaptive responses.
• helps to keep a child feeling ‘calm’ and sensorily organized that then
allows them to attend, learn and behave to the best of their ability.

7. • Why is a sensory diet important?
• Just like we try to eat a balanced food diet (of more fruit and
vegetables and less chocolate) to keep fit and healthy, we also need
a balanced amount of sensory information in our bodies each day
to allow them to work well.
• sensory diet ensure that the amount received from sensory
stimulation meet the body’s required levels to function well.

8.  The activities are chosen according to needs of child based on
sensory integration theory.
 spacific types of input are introduced during various times of the
day which cause a release of neuro - chemicals that can last up to
two houres ,depending on type of input and intensity.
 A sensory diet designed to keep a flow of these neuro - chemicals
steady in the brain throughout the day for improved learning.
