What Are Sensory Systems?
Sensory systems are the foundation for how we experience the world around us. They help us process information, respond to stimuli, and develop essential skills for learning and daily living. At OrbRom Center, we prioritize teaching children about their sensory systems to enhance their understanding and support their growth.
The Seven Sensory Systems
- Visual System – Helps us interpret what we see, such as shapes, colors, and movement. Activities focused on visual processing improve focus, reading skills, and recognition.
- Auditory System – Processes sounds, including speech and environmental noises. Strengthening this system supports listening, following directions, and communication.
- Tactile System – Detects touch, pressure, and texture. Hands-on activities help children explore their surroundings and develop fine motor skills.
- Vestibular System – Governs balance and spatial orientation. Movement-based exercises enhance coordination and stability.
- Proprioception System – Provides body awareness, helping children understand their position in space. Activities involving movement and pressure build strength and control.
- Olfactory System – Processes smells and supports memory and emotional connections. Engaging with different scents can stimulate curiosity and recognition.
- Gustatory System – Handles taste and food preferences, encouraging exploration of flavors and textures.
How OrbRom Incorporates Sensory Learning
OrbRom Center integrates sensory-focused visuals and activities into daily lessons to make learning interactive and engaging. Our approach includes sensory boards, hands-on tools, and personalized strategies that support children in regulating their sensory inputs. These techniques help improve focus, reduce anxiety, and encourage participation.
