Integration (A.O.) is a theory developed by Jean Ayres, an American occupational therapist, educational psychologist and advocate for people with disabilities.<\/p><p>It analyses and examines the relationships between the brain and behaviour. It is described as the building block for the development of adaptive behaviour (the ability of an individual to recognise something he or she already knows and to learn something new), so it is essential for learning, interaction with the physical environment and emotional and cognitive development.<\/p><p>The human brain is multisensory, i.e. it needs to receive combined sensory stimuli (e.g. visual and tactile stimuli) in order to interact with the environment in a more organised way and to mature. Many children have not developed this ability and as a result, when in environments with more than one sensory stimulus, they do not respond appropriately and exhibit behaviors such as withdrawal, irritability, hyperactivity, or crying.<\/p><p>\u00abSensory Integration is defined as the neurological process that organizes the senses from both the body and the environment so that we can use our body effectively in the environment. The spatial and temporal characteristics of sensory stimuli are amplified, concentrated and organized. Sensory integration is the processing of sensory information...\u00bb (A. J. Ayres, 1989).<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5a7ba72d elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle\" data-id=\"5a7ba72d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-65098f68\" data-id=\"65098f68\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-77d83214 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"77d83214\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">See how an evaluation is done<\/span>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fc6b3eb elementor-mobile-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"1fc6b3eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/eidikokentropaidiou.gr\/en\/epikoinonia\/\" class=\"elementor-button-link elementor-button elementor-size-sm\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">contact us<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3ee2c1f9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3ee2c1f9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-746e820f\" data-id=\"746e820f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4393b64d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4393b64d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><h2><strong>The role of the occupational therapist in Sensory Integration<\/strong><\/h2><p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/eidikokentropaidiou.gr\/en\/ergotherapeia\/\">occupational therapists<\/a>, through their science, have as their main goal the independent living of the individual, and thus they find that when an individual cannot organize himself sensorially, he cannot respond to the demands of the environment.

By giving appropriate sensory stimuli (either visual, tactile, or using the suspended equipment for height, depth, linear and circular movements, etc.) the child organizes his\/her sensory systems which may be in hyper or hypersensitivity\/excitability.<\/p><p>Thus, once they are set, the child can perform tasks that are more appropriate for his or her developmental age with greater ease (such as writing, gross or fine movement, play, self-care, etc.). In areas of self-service, such as dressing\/clothing, it is based on recording the causes that prevent the child from acting correctly and giving him\/her the appropriate stimuli of different textures, sense of movement, action in order to create a better ground for responding to the task at hand, with the aim of generalising the success of the task.<\/p><p>The range of ways to intervene in sensory integration is vast, so only through the in-person monitoring and training of parents can the whole process be understood, in many cases, the <a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/eidikokentropaidiou.gr\/en\/fysikotherapeia\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"1603\" data-end=\"1668\">physiotherapy<\/a> works complementary, enhancing motor development and proper body function.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9fe548a elementor-widget-divider--view-line_icon elementor-view-framed elementor-widget-divider--element-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-3599 elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"9fe548a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon elementor-divider__element\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"far fa-handshake\"><\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-612a078 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"612a078\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\"><h2><strong>Sensory Integration for Children Prices &amp; Cost<\/strong><\/h2><p>The cost of sensory integration is included in the cost of occupational therapy sessions.
