Why is Sensory Processing and Sensory Integration Essential? Sensory processing allows them to concentrate on specific sensations, improving overall performance. As a result, their movements evolve from disjointed and awkward to more precise, enabling them to handle multiple sensory inputs. By organizing these sensations, children can better modulate their responses, becoming more engaged with their surroundings and in control of their emotions.
