Not a benefit of sensory integration?

Increased focus and attention Teaches self-regulation Improved motor planning and coordination Cures sensory impairments completely

Correct Answer:

Cures sensory impairments completely

Explanation:

Sensory integration therapy aims to help a person better register, interpret, and respond to sensory information, so functioning improves in daily tasks. That’s why you often see increased focus and attention as sensitivity to stimuli is managed, self-regulation improves as the nervous system becomes more organized, and motor planning and coordination get smoother through activities that integrate senses with movement. The one option that isn’t a benefit is curing sensory impairments completely—this therapy can enhance function, but it doesn’t eradicate the underlying impairment or guarantee a full cure.
