Sensory Integration

Sensory Integration is:
Building neural pathways between right and left brain.

It is possible to build new neural connections between left and right brain hemispheres.  Doing this enhances a person's ability to retrieve learned information and problem solve, which enhances reading.

How to improve sensory integration:
Simple physical exercises which cross the body midline from right to left and left to right helps to improve sensory integration.

Examples of Sensory Integration Activities:

  • Skip rope while memorizing Math Facts
  • Juggle stuffed animal or soft balls
  • Cross hands and place fingers over opposite eyebrows, breathe deeply, relax

In summary, dyslexics tend to be imaginative and highly intelligent, and learn to read extremely well when taught using right brain techniques instead of left brain techniques.
