Transcription: 
Sensory integration is a function of the brain and body working together. It occurs in every single human being. It is a way that we interpret the world, that we interact with the world, and it happens in every activity in everything we do. It is a way that we take in information through all of your sensory systems. That's your visual system, sight, sound, smell, taste, touch, and movement. All of that information comes into the brain and gets interpreted. You remember things. You act on past experiences. For children, they play and they learn. Without that information, playing and learning can be very difficult.
