Sensory
Integration
The ability to
integrate the senses is a necessary skill for anyone who wants
to live and function in the environment. The brain receives
inputs from the senses and must use that information
efficiently in order to construct meaningful responses. When
the brain cannot integrate the information it receives, the
result is an inaccurate model of the environment and an
inability to function well in that environment.
Individuals that
have a sensory integration disorder can improve the ability of
the brain to receive and process information. What is needed
is an approach that addresses the foundational brain
processing issues that are responsible for the lack of sensory
integration ability.
There are many
different methods and therapies that attempt to address
sensory integration problems. Many of these therapies are
designed to teach the individual how to live with his or her
problem. By focusing on approaches that do not address the
underlying brain processing issues that may be responsible for
the condition, the therapy will have only marginal effects.
The Learning Breakthrough Program is a series of natural
activities that may be of additional help in improving the
brain's ability to receive and process information
efficiently. Our program recognizes the importance that the
sense of balance or vestibular system has on all other brain
processes. Activities that capitalize on the relationship
between the vestibular system and all other sensory inputs can
be a helpful addition to sensory integration therapy.
