VESTIBULAR

SENSE

 Found in the inner ear  Sends information to our brain regarding: - balance - movement - muscle tone  Coordinates eyes, head and body

Sensory Integration • Sensory Integration

• How the brain organises sensory information for use • Can explain the relationship between brain and behavior

Why consider Sensory Processes?

Sensory vs. Behavior • All sensory process have a behavior/emotional component BUT • Not all behavior has a sensory component • All behavior is communicating a need

Does SI affect Learning?

Yes….because learning requires • The child’s behavior and alertness to be in an optimal state to maintain attention to tasks. • The child’s motor skills to be in an optimal state to perform and learn new tasks successfully.

Does SI affect Behavior? YES… When sensory input is confusing or upsetting, the child may actively avoid the situation, become upset or have an emotional outburst . When the child does not register enough stimulation he may seek it out by constantly moving, chewing, humming, or flapping or he or she may seem tired, uninterested and passive. He may rummage cupboards seeming to be in search of food even when full.
