The presence of a sensory integration disorder is typically detected in young children. While most children develop SI during the course of ordinary childhood activities, which helps establish such things as the ability for motor planning and adapting to incoming sensations, others’ SI ability does not develop as efficiently. When their process is disordered, a variety of problems in learning, development, or behavior become obvious.
