A child develops and learns skills by interacting with his environment. Play provides him with the sensory stimulation his brain needs in order to be able to allow him to respond in a meaningful way to these stimuli. Until the age of seven the brain is thus prepared for the challenges of the classroom. The neurologic problem in the child with a sensory integrative dysfunction prevents him from processing the sensations of his own play, so he cannot develop the adaptive responses that organize the brain and his actions. This child needs a specially designed environment in order to experience joy and satisfaction during his play, that allow him to learn higher skills and organize the brain functions. The purpose of this article is to clarify what sensory integration is and how it influences the child's development.
儿童通过与环境互动来发展和学习技能。玩耍为他提供了大脑所需的感官刺激，以便能够让他以有意义的方式对这些刺激做出反应。因此，在七岁之前，大脑就为应对课堂挑战做好了准备。患有感觉统合功能障碍的儿童的神经问题使他无法处理自己玩耍时的感觉，所以他无法发展出组织大脑和行动的适应性反应。这个孩子需要一个经过特殊设计的环境，以便在玩耍过程中体验到快乐和满足感，从而使他能够学习更高层次的技能并组织大脑功能。本文的目的是阐明什么是感觉统合以及它如何影响儿童的发展。
