Detailed explanation-1: -The terms “sensory integration” and “sensory processing” both refer to the processes in the brain that allow us to take the signals from our senses, make sense of those signals and respond appropriately. The concept of sensory integration was first developed and described by Dr A Jean Ayres in the 1970s.

Detailed explanation-2: -Perception is the process of selecting, organizing, and interpreting information from our senses.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory integration is the process by which we receive information through our senses, organize this information, and use it to participate in everyday activities. An example of sensory integration is: Baby smelling food as they bring it to their mouth. Tasting the food.

Detailed explanation-4: -Information collected through the senses is processed by the nervous system. Our eyes, ears, and nose all help us gather sensory information. Each organ has special structures that collect the information and send it to the brain through the nervous system.
