- Thank you for this information. Our library does not have this book, so I will
- have to get this book over inter-library loan. While I am waiting for this, can
- you tell me anything about this sensory integration disfunction? Does this
- mean that the brain has difficulty integrating all of the information it is
- given through the senses into a coherent whole "picture"? What are the
- symptoms which are usually associated with this? Please forgive all these
- questions, but I fell that I am getting close to the answer which I am seeking.
