Overview

Sensory integration has gained significant attention, particularly with the growing prevalence of sensory integration disorders in children. This has prompted researchers to focus more on understanding the phenomenon, while professionals increasingly acknowledge the necessity for specialized knowledge and skills in this area. Sensory integration is a scientifically validated therapeutic approach with international recognition. It offers a robust theoretical foundation for both assessment and intervention, highlighting the critical role of sensory information processing in the development and execution of skills across all domains of an individual’s functioning. As a therapeutic framework, sensory integration guides the evaluation and treatment of individuals experiencing challenges in sensory processing, providing targeted strategies to address functional difficulties.
