A. Jean Ayres Sensory Integration Theory

A. Jean Ayres' Sensory Integration Theory suggests that our brain processes sensory information—like touch, sound, and movement—in a coordinated way to help us interact effectively with our environment. When this processing is efficient, individuals can focus, learn, and regulate their emotions better. If sensory integration is impaired, it may lead to difficulties with attention, coordination, or emotional regulation. The theory emphasizes the importance of tailored sensory experiences and activities to help improve brain organization and support overall development, particularly in children with sensory processing challenges.
