Abstract
The process of the brain organizing and interpreting information from the environment is called sensory integration. The occupational therapy team in Peterborough, UK, has used a sensory integration approach for pre-school and school-aged children with motor, sensory and/or attentional difficulties for over 10 years. Sensory integration provides a crucial foundation for later, more complex learning and behaviour. The children are seen individually or in groups in schools, nurseries and specialist units. Advice is given to parents for strategies to support children's behaviour regulation at home. Under direction from paediatric occupational therapists, many primary schools run sensory circuits, which involve the use of some sensory integration equipment as well as physical education equipment normally found in mainstream schools. This article describes some of the common sensory integration pieces of equipment that are used for enhancing children's sensory processing.
