      SENSORY ACTIVITIES:
      * WHAT IS SENSORY INTEGRATION??
      Our bodies take in information from the environment to guide us through the day for safety and learning. Our nervous system integrates all of the information it receives from outside our body, as well as the inside of our body. The coordination of this nervous system process is referred to as sensory integration.
