Ayres Sensory Integration

Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) is a therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Jean Ayres to help individuals, particularly children, better process and respond to sensory information from their environment. It focuses on understanding how the brain organizes sensory input—such as sights, sounds, and textures—and uses tailored activities to improve sensory processing. By engaging in play-based, hands-on experiences, individuals can enhance their ability to perceive, integrate, and respond to sensory stimuli, which may improve daily functioning, social skills, and emotional regulation. ASI is especially beneficial for those with sensory processing issues, such as autism or attention disorders.
