Sensory health in children is crucial for their overall well-being and development. The sensorysystem, often thought of as only 5 senses (actually 8) includes sight, hearing, touch, taste,and smell. However, there are three additional senses critical to the overall sensory health anddevelopment of children. These include vestibular, proprioception and interoception. Wewill refer to these as the “Big 3”. The Big 3 plays a critical role in how children experience andinteract with the world around them. In fact, development is significantly constrained if one ormore of these senses are not functioning properly.
