Many children with social and learning disabilities have some kind of dysfunction with sensory integration. Their brains misinterpret everyday sensory information they receive from their environment through their sense of sight, smell, sound, taste, touch, as well as their movement and positional senses. These misconnections affect the way their brain interprets this information with social, attentional, motor and other responses. When the brain is not healthy, the body is not healthy. The brain is what tells our body what to do. Therefore, the healthier our brains are, the healthier our bodies will be when we are faced with outside sensory burdens from the environment. Children need sensory input and experiences to grow and learn. Early intervention is key. MEGHAN'S WORLD is one-of-a-kind book...because it is a TRUE story about one little girl's quest to feel comfortable in the world around her.
