Sensory Integration Technical Instruction

Sensory integration can be trained at home, of course, in a professional place by professional teachers, with professional equipment for better results, more targeted training. Sensory integration training is mainly the most important human sensory training, which can be subdivided into tactile, vestibular balance, kinesthetic and other training programs. Specifically introduced as follows: Tactile training Strengthening the skin, large and small muscles and joints nerve induction, identify the sensory level, adjust the sensitivity of the brain sensory nerves. Equipments used: massage ball, wave pool, balance tactile board. Indications: Crying, timid, emotional, fear of strangers, clumsiness, fear of touching, incorrect pronunciation, partiality, picky eating, poor concentration, autism, infirmity and so on. Vestibular Balance Training Adjust the vestibular information and balance the automatic response function of the nervous system, promote the soundness of the language nerve organization, the vestibular balance and the integrity of the audio-visual ability. Equipments to be used: Cylinder, Balance Treadmill, Massage Dragon Ball, Slide, Balance Platform, Wobbly Canoe Bridge, Kangaroo Bag, Circular Scooter. Indications: lack of flexibility, improper posture, poor bilateral coordination, hyperactivity, irritability, delayed language development, poor visual-spatial development, reading difficulties, low self-confidence, poor concentration, easy to fall, unclear sense of direction, learning ability and habit development. Bouncing training Adjusts the inherent balance and vestibular balance sensory nervous system, strengthens the tactile nerve and joint information, and promotes the sound development of the left and right brains. Equipments used: croquette ball, jumping bed. Indications: standing and sitting without phase, incorrect posture, emotional, lack of physical flexibility, hyperactivity, inattention, delayed language development, reading difficulties, timidity, emotional, clumsiness, poor visual judgment, poor tactile development, lack of joint information. Intrinsic Balance Training Adjusts the central spinal cord nerves and the coordination of gravity, strengthens the middle ear balance system, coordinates the whole body’s nerve function, and lays the foundation for the development of the brain. Use of equipment: one-legged chair, big gyro, foot walker, vertical holding cylinder. Indications: Sitting without sitting, standing without standing, hyperactivity and restlessness, easy to fall, short temper, irritable, poor language development, lack of organization and reasoning ability, poor bilateral coordination, inflexible hands and feet, low self-confidence. Proprioceptive training Strengthening of intrinsic balance, vestibular balance, sense of touch, bilateral coordination of large and small muscles, flexible body movement ability, sound and balanced development of the left and right brain. Equipments used: jumping bed, balancing platform, wobbling log bridge, skateboard, S-shaped vertical balance beam, S-shaped horizontal balance beam, round balance board. Indications: delayed language development, clumsiness, inattention, hyperactivity, moodiness, lack of organization and creativity. Dong Yanmei What is Sensory Integration Sensory integration refers to the brain’s ability to organize, analyze, and process sensory information from all the senses of the body many times to make the right decisions, so that the whole organism can function harmoniously and effectively. Different parts of the brain must work in a unified and coordinated manner to accomplish advanced and complex human cognitive activities, including attention, self-control, generalization and comprehension. When there is a problem with the brain’s synthesis of sensory information, it prevents the organism from functioning effectively and is called sensory integration disorder, which is divided into five major areas: balance integration, tactile integration, proprioceptive integration, visual and auditory integration. People generally pay more attention to the senses of sight, hearing and smell, but in fact the most basic and important senses that human beings need from the bottom up are the senses of touch, vestibular balance and kinesthesia. Tactile sensation refers to the sensations of temperature, humidity, pain, pressure, vibration, etc. that are received from the outside world by nerve cells distributed throughout the body on the skin. Vestibular balance sense utilizes the three pairs of semicircular canals and otoliths in the inner ear to explore gravity and control the head’s orientation and body balance during movement. Kinesthesia (also known as deep sensation) is the sensation from the muscles, joints, and ligaments inside our body. It is the sense of understanding the position and movement of a limb. The various senses of human beings are learning processes in which the brain and the body coordinate with each other, and almost 80% of the learning takes place in infancy and early childhood. Therefore, attention should be paid to the early motor skills training of children. If a child has a sensory integration disorder, it will cause inconvenience to the child’s future learning, life and activities, so parents should pay attention to this aspect. Sensory Integration Training (SIT) is a program that uses special, professional equipment with specially designed activity stimulation to correct neurological incoordination in children with dysfunctional sensory systems.
