Sensory Integration (SI) is one of the therapeutic methods created and described by J. Ayres in 1972. In Poland, for a few years, more and more specialists, also rehabilitators, have followed this concept in their work. SI is a subconscious process, whereby the ordering and assignment of meaning to information acquired by the senses takes place. The three principal senses, which Ayres described are: the sense of touch, proprioception, and the vestibular system.
