Sažetak
Appropriate integration of sensory information is one component of developing and creating the self image, and image of the world which is for most children, a basic factor that influences the acquisition and development of necessary living skills. However, the progress of children with neurodevelopmental delay significantly is undermined and subsequent delayed among else because of sensory integration problems. These problems can directly affect the socio-emotional, cognitive and behavioral development of the child so sensory integration therapy can be essential for successfully meeting the needs and tasks which a child has to fulfill. The purpose of this paper is to show 2 examples of sensory integration therapy with children with neuro-developmental and motor difficulties provided at our hospital. Sensory integration therapy approach was developed by Jean Ayres, PhD, and is intended for children who have problems with processing of received information in the right way and because of that, they have more developmental difficulties, learning or behavioural problems. By influencing, on three body sensory systems—tactile, vestibular and proprioceptive, and five senses, at the right time and intensity with right stimuli therapist enables the children to organize sensory information’s and have adoptive response in meaningful way. Conclusion is that sensory integration therapy approach enables a child to establish a peaceful state of awareness, strengthens organization of received stimuli in concrete, usable information and ensures adoption of the fundamental learning concepts, an essential factor for integration of children with neurodevelopmental and motor difficulties in “normal” process of daily living.
