Ayres Research of Sensory Integration

Focuses on sensory processing in an attempt to explain the underlying cause of learning disabilities, behavioral, and motor difficulties in children.

Ayres Sensory Integration as a neuropsychological approach

Sensory integration assumes that remediating underlying neurological processes will improve a child's motor coordination and ability to attend and learn in a classroom .

Ayres proposition in relation to Sensory Integration

Sensory systems build upon each other from birth, and the visual and auditory systems depend on more foundational body centered senses (tactile, proprioceptive, and vestibular) .

Application of Ayres Sensory Integration in today's practice

Sensory processing must connect with occupation so that effectiveness of SI interventions can be seen through the client's successful engagement in occupations and participation in life roles

4 levels of Ayres Sensory Integration

Primary level, Second Level, Third Level, and Fourth Level Teach these in the early stages of developments

Development and Identification of 3 basic sensory systems: vestibular, proprioceptive, and tactile

Three basic sensory systems are integrated into a body precept like coordination of the two sides of the body, motor planning, attention span, activity level, and emotional stability

The vestibular and auditory system are intimately related . Sensory integration expands into complex communication, spatial awareness, and social functioning. auditory & visual perception, eye-hand coordination, and purposeful activity.

Includes the following end products: The ability to organize and concentrate, self-esteem, control and confidence, academic learning ability, capacity for abstract thought and reasoning, and development of dominance and hemispheric specialization

Dunns Sensory Processing

Includes chemical senses (olfactory and gustatory), body senses (somatosensory, proprioceptive, and vestibular) , environmental senses (auditory and visual)

Centrifugal Control (Dunns Sensory Processing)

the ability for the brain to regulate its own input which happens 3 ways: suppression, divergence, and convergence

Dunns four sensory processing patterns

sensation seeking, sensation avoiding, sensory sensitivity, and low regulation

a standardized assessment tool created by occupational therapist Dr. Winnie Dunn that evaluates how individuals process and respond to everyday sensory information

Purpose of Dunns Sensory Profile

Rather than a diagnostic label, this is a strength-based profile used by therapists to help build supportive home, school, and work environments
