Sensory Integration Dysfunction

Sensory Integration Dysfunction refers to difficulties in processing and responding to sensory information from the environment. Individuals may have heightened or reduced sensitivity to stimuli, such as sounds, textures, or lights. This can lead to challenges in everyday activities, such as managing crowds or wearing certain clothing. It often affects children, particularly those with conditions like autism, but can also occur in adults. Therapy can help individuals develop better strategies to manage sensory input, improving their ability to function and engage in daily life. Understanding and support from others can also play a crucial role.
