Sensory Integration Therapy Print this page Save this page
A common symptom of autism and PDD students is an unusual response to their senses of hearing, sight, touch, smell and or movement. Sensory integration occurs when our brains organize the information from our senses for our use. With an autistic student, sensory integration does not develop as it should. Students might need to play with different textures (sand, play-dough or shaving cream) to swing, or to sit on a large ball. Follow the student' lead and cleverly select and modify activities according to the child's response.
