What is Sensory Integration Dysfunction?
In the 1970s, countries with earlier urbanization in Europe, America, Japan and other countries had increasingly serious problem children. After hundreds of experts studied it, it was first introduced by Dr. J. Ayres of the University of Southern California in 1972. Put forward the theory of sensory integration. Sensory integration means that the human body effectively utilizes its own senses in the environment, obtains different sensory information (view, hearing, smell, taste, touch, vestibule, proprioception, etc.) from the outside world and inputs them to the brain. The ability to respond adaptively. Insufficient sensory integration or sensory integration dysfunction will affect the coordinated play of various functional areas of the brain, sensory organs and the body, causing problems in learning and life.
Sensory training
- In the 1970s, countries with earlier urbanization developments such as Europe, the United States, and Japan, the problem children became more and more serious. After joint research by hundreds of experts, it was finally released in 1972.
- What is sensory training? What can it do?
- This question is answered in several ways:
- 1. Frequent problems and causes in children's growth
- 2,
- The sensory integration training system is a virtual rehabilitation training environment created for children through the latest multimedia technology. It includes a variety of training programs, combined with the most scientific physical training equipment, so that the teaching content is rich and diverse, and it effectively improves the child's skin touch. , Vestibular sensation and proprioception, to achieve the connection and coordination of various functions of the brain and body, thereby promoting the development of children's brain and body.
- The term of sensory integration was proposed by Shrttinhyot C.S (1960) and Lashley K.S (1960), and it is widely used in behavioral and neuroscience research. AyresA.J first proposed the Sensory Integration Theory systematically in 1972 based on the study of brain function. She thinks sensory integration means
- Between the vestibular sensory system and the brain. Have a very close relationship.
- Visual beating is originally a natural phenomenon of infants and young children, such as fish, geckos and other animals. The vision of human eyes is inherently unstable, so infants and young children are most fond of looking at moving objects outside the window. Anything that beats Something quiet attracts his attention.
- But with the increase of age and activity, the baby's sense of learning "gazes far away, and the vision gradually stabilizes. After the vision is stabilized, it can move left and right and up and down, which is also the beginning of reading. But the environment is bad. Or children with insufficient crawling. The vision is not easy to mature, so even if these children are around 4 years old, their vision is still unstable and they cannot move smoothly. Therefore, reading will skip words and lines. Seriously unable to read, it is difficult to do arithmetic correctly Grasp the numbers and get tired of your eyes when doing homework, resulting in insufficient learning ability.
- Human ears form the earliest, but the earliest achievements, so hearing affects brain growth the most during infants and young children. In the early years, young children's hearing was weak, so they couldn't stand too high and too loud sounds. Grandparents brought a lot of noise, too much environmental noise, and parents had bad tempers. Frequent blame will cause young children to form a self-protective film on hearing in order to protect the brain's stimulation of the sound, and develop the habit of refusing to listen to other people's speeches. When such children grow up. Hearing is poor, easy to forget, unable to communicate with others, queer temperament, unfocused in class, and naturally has obstacles to study.
- Gravity, also known as gravity, has the greatest influence on humans. Humans learn about turning, crawling, sitting, standing, running, etc. Everything is related to the sense of gravity, and it is the vestibular omentum that masters the sense of gravity. Vestibular omentum can not only master the operation of the body. It can also coordinate the body and the surrounding environment, that is, the correct grasp of the sense of balance, direction, and distance. Therefore, the coordination and control function of the vestibular omentum is insufficient. All a sense of gravity. The balance will be out of order.
- The fetal position is not correct and the activity is insufficient in the early years. Insufficient crawling or prolonged exposure
- Humans have thin skin and the most diverse ability to distinguish tactile stimuli. This is also the basis for the unique ability to distinguish, analyze, and organize the human brain. Human beings are different from other animals, and have extensive and delicate learning ability, which is closely related to the diversity and complexity of human tactile learning.
- The complexity of tactile sensation also makes the most of the tactile sensation in the brain nerve, so the coordination between the tactile nerve and the external environment is insufficient. Will affect the brain's perception and response to the outside world. Causes tactile sensitivity (too strong defense) or dullness (too weak defense).
- Tactile sensitive children. Weak adaptability to external stimuli. So I will be stubborn on familiar experience. It is characterized by stickiness, fear of strangers, dislike of crowding, and lack of self-confidence. Often stubborn in familiar environments and actions, any new learning will be rejected. Don't like the touch of others. It is easy to quarrel with other people in a group and have fewer friends, often lonely.
- They often like a special familiar feeling, so they tend to have a habit of partial eclipse, sucking their fingers and touching the genitals; they don't like to be embraced, but they like to embrace others, and often have many incomprehensible behaviors.
- Children with slow tactile responses are: slow response, inflexible movements, poor brain discrimination, so they have poor pronunciation or small
- We can easily go up and down the stairs without looking at the stairs, or touch the eyebrows or nose with our hands without looking in the mirror. We do not have to lower our heads while driving, and we can switch the brakes at any time when we press the accelerator. Mosquito bites anywhere on the body. Don't look with your eyes. You can hit the mosquito with your hand
- Insufficient sensory integration leads to brain insufficiency
- The most important thing for human learning is not knowledge. Knowledge is only a tool. How to absorb, digest, and use knowledge is the learning ability. Learning ability is physical sense,
- Human beings
- In front of the brainstem below the brain, there is a tiny radar-like sensory organ called the vestibule
- Without looking at the mirror, we can touch the nose and eyebrows correctly; without looking at the stairs, we can flexibly go up and down the stairs, pat the ball, drive a car, ride a bicycle, swim, coordinate with both hands and feet, and move freely on the body. This is the proprioception.
- Language skills include reading, listening, speaking, and writing, and are highly complex neural actions unique to humans.
- The most important thing is to find out the root cause. Because children have multiple difficulties in behavior, it is not easy to judge the true cause and the extent of their deficiencies. At present, most of the living data check method is adopted. Parents or teachers fill out checklists for children's behaviors, and then compare them with experienced experts to determine the reasons. However, due to the degree of the fillets, there are often deviations.
- If the child's body and behavior can be directly observed, the correctness is higher. In fact, any expression and movement of the child reflects the needs of his body and nervous tissue. The most important thing for the observer is not to criticize the child, and to quietly and objectively examine the child's behavior , You can directly understand the cause and extent of the deficiency.
- Children are hyperactive, talkative, timid, and anxious.
- Daily observation and timely diagnosis
- Sense training, training according to the training content arranged by experts
- Create a good environment for children to grow up healthy
- The following courses are not suitable for all children and can be used according to the actual situation.
- Shofar : Let the child sit on the ball, hold the handlebars with both hands, flex the body, and jump forward. The integration of posture and both sides can promote a high degree of sports planning.
- Balance platform : Stand on the balance platform with two feet or one foot, use your hands to do sports such as racket, and keep your body balanced. Strengthen vestibular stimulation and strengthen the body's ability to balance.
- Cylindrical suspension cable : The child flexes his body, clings to the cylinder with his hand and keeps his body balanced, and makes a large swing back and forth. Promote physical coordination and integration of inherent vestibular sensory inputs.
- Sunshine Tunnel : Let the child lie prone and crawl through the tunnel. Enhances skin contact irritation and regulates vestibular feel.
- Kangaroo jump : The child stands in the bag, lifts the bag with both hands, and both feet jump forward. In the jumping action, it strengthens the vestibular stimulation and suppresses allergic messages.
- Slide : Prone on the skateboard, grasp the sides of the slide with both hands and slide downwards. When sliding down, stretch your arms forward and your legs together to raise your head. Strongly stimulate the vestibular system, the head and neck muscles contract at the same time, and promote the maturity of the body's protective stretching behavior.
- Skateboard climbing : Regulate the vestibular sensation and touch, trigger a rich balanced response, a lot of visual information during exercise, and the proprioception of the spinal cord and limbs, so that the overall sensory integrated operation function is actively developed.
- Stick stick : prone in the network cable, with the head raised forward, the instructor assisted in swinging back and forth, let the child insert sticks in order from left to right with both hands in the swing. Strengthen vestibular stimulation and stretch and activate muscles throughout the body.
- Footsteps : Relax naturally when walking, body upright, body coordination, concentration. Promote and improve children's balance, help children establish inherent vestibular balance, develop coordination, improve children's attention and observation.
- Jumping on the jumping bed : Let the child stand on the jumping bed with both feet jumping together. When jumping, the knees are bent and the heels are kicked to the hips. Strengthen vestibular stimulation, suppress allergic messages, correct gravity instability and insufficient exercise planning.
- S-shaped balance beam : Place the balance beam in a high or low direction or side to side. The child is standing on the balance beam, his hands are flat and his head is raised, his feet are alternately walking forward. Contribute to the establishment of children's proprioception and strengthen their balance.
- What if children do not pay attention?

- 11. Have the child look at a picture (or something, a real thing) with several types of animals. It can be viewed within a certain period of time, and the start time can be longer. Reduce the time for viewing. After taking the picture, let the child Name the animals on the picture. If he doesn't remember much, he might classify the animals, such as beasts, birds, and fish, so that he can remember them faster.
- 12. Ask the child to close his eyes and tell what color of clothes and shoes you are wearing. If you also close your eyes and say the color of your child's clothes and shoes, it will arouse your child's greater interest in this game.
- 13. Mom and child play this game by phone. Moms can ask their children's home address, home phone number, mom and dad's birthday, especially the name of equal life.
- 14 Mom can put together small animal toys at home, number each small animal in advance, let each small animal stand on its own number at the beginning, ask the child to remember, and then the mother picks up the number , And mess up the numbers, and then let the children paste their original numbers for each small animal to see if the child can accurately seat the number one by one with the small animal.
- 16. Baby album: When parents take their children out or travel, they should remind the child what he sees? After returning home, let the child draw all the content he saw during the play with a paintbrush, and assemble these paintings into a booklet. This game must be loved by the child, and he can also practice his drawing skills. When the child grows up, this picture book can also become a souvenir of the child's growth.
