  4. 01 SENSORY INTEGRATION SENSORY PROCESSING OR SENSORY INTEGRATION REFERS TO HOW OUR BODY RECEIVES, UNDERSTANDS, AND USES INFORMATION FROM THE SENSES. ONE COMPONENT OF THIS PROCESS IS SENSORY INTEGRATION, WHICH INCLUDES INTERPRETATION, COORDINATION, AND ORGANIZATION OF SENSATION. EFFICIENT SENSORY INTEGRATION ENABLES US TO PLAN APPROPRIATE ACTION AND BEHAVIOR AND LEARN NEW SKILLS. SENSORY INFORMATION COMES FROM ALL SENSES AND MAY ORIGINATE FROM ONE’S BODY (BALANCE SENSE, JOINT AND MUSCLE SENSE, TOUCH SENSE) OR THE ENVIRONMENT (SIGHT, SOUND, TEMPERATURE, AND TEXTURE). THE TWO SENSORY INTEGRATION COMPONENTS ARE SENSORY MODULATION AND SENSORY DISCRIMINATION.

  5. SELF REGULATION Self-regulation is our bodies ability to attain, maintain, and change arousal appropriately for a task or situation. (Williams & Shellenberger, 1994, p 1-5) It is our ability to manage your own energy states, emotions, behaviors, and attention, in ways that are socially acceptable and help achieve positive goals such as maintaining good relationships learning and maintaining wellbeing.” 02
