Sensory Integration theory has been around for many years and there are lots of different terms and definitions.
Within this website, when we use the term Sensory Processing, we are talking about the way a person’s central nervous system picks up information from our different sensory systems and then sends it to the brain, where the information is processed and used.
When someone has difficulties with this, we refer to this as Sensory Processing Differences.
Other terms that are used are Sensory Integration (SI), Sensory Integration Difficulty and Sensory Processing Disorder (Sensory Processing Disorder is not recognised as an independent diagnosis and should be avoided).
When we talk about the formal intervention approach which was designed and pioneered by Dr Jean Ayres, we will use the term Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI).
This service provides post-diagnostic support and on-going management for children and young people with ADHD and their families.
Our Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service supports children and young people aged up to 18 years, who are experiencing significant emotional or mental health difficulties.
The team completes Autism and ADHD assessments for children and young people who are below the age of 18 and have a GP in Hull or the East Riding of Yorkshire.
The Front Door Team is where referrals for Autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity (ADHD) are sent and reviewed.
