	Sensory Integration Dysfunction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sensory integration dysfunction can be a disorder on its own, but it can also be a characteristic of other neurological conditions, including autism spectrum disorders, dyslexia, dyspraxia, pervasive developmental disorder, multiple sclerosis, and speech delays, among many others [3].
		Sensory integration is the ability to take in information through the senses of touch, movement, smell, taste, vision, and hearing, and to combine the resulting perceptions with prior information, memories, and knowledge already stored in the brain, in order to derive coherent meaning from processing the stimuli.
		Sensory integration therapy is a type of occupational therapy that places a child in a room specifically designed to stimulate and challenge all of the sense.

	Sensory Integrative Dysfunction in Young Children
		Sensory integration is not an area of expertise at the school.

		Sensory integration occurs in the central nervous system and is generally thought to take place in the mid-brain and brainstem levels in complex interactions of the portions of the brain responsible for such things as coordination, attention, arousal levels, autonomic functioning, emotions, memory, and higher level cognitive functions.
