SENSORY INTEGRATED THERAPY Sensory Integration is the Brain’s ability to organize information received through the senses and produce an adapted response in relation to the environment.  Some children have difficulty with processing information from within their environment and their responses to the environment are maladaptive.  They may perceive the sensory information being taken in as overwhelming, confusing, or distorted.  Many times simple activities are frustrating for them and they cannot feel the usual sense of security, confidence, and happiness that other children feel.  These children may dislike or avoid certain activities, may not be able to stay focused with in a group, may appear fidgety or in constant motion, may be having difficulties in school with staying in their chair, focusing or even organizing their space.
