Fact of the Day: In addition to our 5 senses: vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch we have 3 other vital senses: Tactile- providing information through the surface of our skin about the objects in our environment, Vestibular- providing information about balance and movement, and Proprioceptive- providing information through our muscles and joints about where our body parts are and what they are doing. Difficulties in these areas may be caused by a Sensory Integration Dysfunction.
