10/16: Implications of Sensory Integration on Speech and Language Development Flashcards
1
Q
What is the definition of Sensory Integration?
A
- the neurological process that organizes sensations from one’s own body and the environment into useable information
- it is information filtering and processing
2
Q
What do sensory inputs include?
A
- sights
- smells
- touch
- tastes
- hearing
- perception of movements (vestibular)
- positioning of our bodies (proprioception)
3
Q
What are the results of proper sensory processing?
A
- enhances motor activity
- impacts and elicits behaviors
- increases attention and focus
- allows learning to take place
4
Q
What are the four levels of sensory integration and by what ages are they typically developed?
A
- Level 1: Primary Sensory Systems (by 2 mos.)
- Level 2: Perceptual Motor Foundations (by 1 year)
- Level 3: Perceptual Motor Skills (by 3 years)
- Level 4: Academic Readiness (by 6 years)
5
Q
In terms of level 1 and the development of primary sensory systems what is developing/has developed?
A
- tactile
- vestibular
- proprioceptive
- visual/auditory
6
Q
What is level 1 establishing a foundation for?
A
future learning
7
Q
In terms of Level 2 and the development of perceptual motor foundations, what is developing/has developed?
A
- body awareness
- visual feedback
- bilateral integration
- lateralization
- motor planning
8
Q
In terms of Level 3 and the development of perceptual motor skills, what is developing/has developed?
A
- auditory perception
- visual perception
- visual-motor integration
- eye-hand coordination develops
- purposeful activity
9
Q
In terms of Level 4 and academic readiness, what is developing/ has developed?
A
- complex motor skills
- regulation of attention
- organized behavior
- specialization of body and brain
- visualization
- self-esteem and self control
