Fidget Sensory Integration is the neurological process that organises sensation from one’s own body & from the environment when using a fidget, this makes it possible to use the body effectively when using a sensory tool. We are constantly receiving sensory information from within our bodies and our surrounding environment. We receive sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touches and feedback from our body about movement, balance and our position in our surroundings. These senses all
work together, to help us
get a sense of who we are, where we are and what is happening around us – hence the term INTEGRATION. You
may be familiar with some of the concepts and terms of sensory integration, such as sensory processing, modulation and regulation. In many of life's situations,
children & adults are ‘seeking’ extra sensory input they
may otherwise not be receiving from their environment. The concept of fidget toys is based on this, where
children & adults are seeking things to
touch and feel, to provide the ‘just right’ amount of sensory input, to calm their nervous
system. Fidget toys are often used to provide sensory input in a less distracting
way. They can help improve concentration and attention to tasks by allowing the brain to filter out the extra sensory information.
