Sensory Integration Articles: Integration of our senses is critical to living easily in today’s world. Human bodies have a natural rhythm that directs the body’s flow and functions. Eyes and ears work together to know when to cross a street; our taste buds usually warn us of food that does not agree with our stomachs. Our ears integrate sound in all our senses within the body system through bone and air conduction. Those who have poor sensory integration are sensitive to sound and light or even being touched. Some have experienced ear infections, a traumatic injury or other traumatic experiences that may have impacted sensory integration. When these faculties are impaired, the conscious and intellectual aspects of learning are inhibited. In a child with developmental delays, these faculties may be only partially developed. Whether sensory integration is impaired or only partially developed, the outcome is the same. Common activities that depend upon well-organized brainstem functioning (for example: learning to ride a bike, throw a ball, read or interact with others) can seem unreasonably difficult. Whatever the cause, it is possible to re-organize, develop or regain good sensory integration. The individualized programs and unique methodology of BrainAdvantage can help integrate your senses.   Audio-Visual Entrainment by Dave Siever   Auditory System-Senses working overtime by Heather Wood   Dissecting the circuitry of the auditory system by George D.
