- Sensory Integration Terms:
-
- vestibular: the sensory system that responds to the position of the
- head in relation to gravity and accelerated or decelerated movement;
- it integrates neck, eye, and body movements.
-
- Prioprioception: From the Lation word for "one's own." Refers to the
- perception of sensation fromt he muscles and joints. Proprioceptive
- input tells teh brain when and how muscles are contracting or stretching,
- and when and how the joints are bending, entending, or being pulled or
- compressed. This information enables the brain to know where each part
- of the body is and how it is moving.
-
- Tactile defensiveness: a sensory integrative dysfunction in which tactile
- sensations create negative emotional reactions. It is associated with
- distractibility, restlessness, and behavior problems.
-
- Praxis: motor planning. The ability of the brain to conceive of, organize,
- and carry out a sequence of unfamiliar actions.
-
-
- Sorry for the jargon.
-
- Also seems that the area code (213) has been changed to 310 if you
- are trying to call Sensory Integration International.
