sensory integration

Sensory integration is the process by which our brain organizes and interprets the information it receives from our senses—sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. This complex functioning allows us to respond appropriately to our environment. For instance, when walking in a busy street, our brain combines visual cues like traffic and pedestrians with auditory signals like honking cars to help us navigate safely. Difficulties in sensory integration can lead to challenges in everyday activities, affecting how someone perceives and interacts with their surroundings.
