Rola wiedzy rodziców w rozpoznawaniu i wspieraniu zaburzeń integracji sensorycznej
The role of parental knowledge in recognizing and supporting sensory integration disorders

Summary/Abstract: The theory of Sensory Integration explains the chaos in a child's behaviour by the lack of cooperation of all the senses simultaneously. At the same time, it provides an opportunity to organize the information coming from the senses through appropriately selected exercises and games. Integration of stimuli is necessary for the formation of ideas about the self and the world, assimilation of knowledge, purposeful actions, planning and elaboration of behaviour. Working with a child with sensory integration disorders requires an individual approach, understanding of the child's specific needs and cooperation with a variety of specialists. The first step a parent takes toward improving a child's well-being and functioning is observation. The child also relies on the knowledge and attitude of the parent. The analysis of the literature undertaken is intended to show the need to understand issues related to sensory integration disorders. The article also presents tips for parents on how to support the development of sensory integration, not only through therapy.
