What is Sensory Integration?

Sensory integration is our brain's ability to filter, organize and interpret information from our sensory senses. Kids with sensory integration issues may either show difficult behaviour or may struggle to perform certain skills because they can't understand the information from their senses. Behaviour caused by this isn't a choice, it is a reaction to what their brain is telling them. Sensory integration also influences their skill development.

To stimulate sensory integration, a child needs exposure to a great variety of sensory experiences. The toys listed on this page are all handpicked by Celiane, our Occupational Therapist, to help stimulate sensory integration in children.
