SENSORY PROCESSING AND INTEGRATION
Sensory processing or sensory integration refers
to how our body receives, understands, and uses
information from the senses. One component of
this process is sensory integration, which
includes interpretation, coordination, and
organization of sensation. Efficient sensory
integration enables us to plan appropriate action
and behavior and learn new skills. Sensory
information comes from all senses and may
originate from ones body (balance sense, joint
and muscle sense, touch sense) or the environment
(sight, sound, temperature, and texture). The two
sensory integration components are sensory
modulation and sensory discrimination. These
components are interrelated and important for the
acquisition of motor and perceptual skills.
Sensory Modulation
Refers to the nature and intensity of our
reactions to sensation. This includes whether a
sensation arouses or calms, irritates or soothes,
distracts or help focus attention, feels
threatening or comforts. Effective sensory
modulation enables us to make an appropriate
response. Problems in sensory modulation may
affect behavior, emotions, motor responses and
other skills.

SELF REGULATION
Self-regulation is our bodies ability to attain,
maintain, and change arousal appropriately for a
task or situation. (Williams Shellenberger,
1994, p 1-5) It is our ability to manage your own
energy states, emotions, behaviors, and
attention, in ways that are socially acceptable
and help achieve positive goals such as
maintaining good relationships learning and
maintaining wellbeing.
Kioko Center is the best clinic to get
Occupational Therapy Services for
Self-Regulation, whether you are looking for your
child or a young adult. Call us for more detail.
