Dysfunction of Sensory Integration

Dysfunction of sensory integration occurs when the brain has difficulty processing and organizing information received through the senses, such as touch, sight, sound, or movement. This can lead to challenges in interpreting sensory input accurately, causing responses that may be overly intense, weak, or inconsistent. As a result, individuals may have trouble with coordination, focus, or calming down, affecting daily activities and social interactions. It’s often seen in conditions like autism but can also occur in various neurological issues. Proper therapy can help improve the brain’s ability to integrate sensory information effectively.
