Abstract
Introduction. The vestibular system is one of the most important human sensory systems, morphologically connected with the auditory system. The fetus starts responding to sound at around 16 weeks of development and its inner ear begins developing at 4 weeks. Proper receiving and processing of sound dictates development and comprehension of speech. The organ of hearing can be damaged during fetal development, birth or in the postnatal period. The damage to the organ of hearing affects the sensory systems’ integration. Training of sensory integration can be successfully introduced as a part of integrated rehabilitation of a child with hearing loss.
Purpose. The work describes Sensory Integration used in speech and hearing therapy. Examples of hearing exercises have been included. The therapy was conducted in years 2019-2021 in Polish Association of the Deaf Toruń and Bydgoszcz facilities.
Rehabilitation of the organ of hearing. The organ of hearing can be damaged during fetal development, birth or in the postnatal period. The rehabilitation of the organ of hearing begins as soon as the damage is recognized. The child, after being supplied with hearing aids or an cochlear implant, sometimes before that, is referred for speech and hearing therapy. In the process of widely understood rehabilitation, if complex action is required, included are physiotherapy and Sensory Integration- which was done at Polish Association of the Deaf Toruń and Bydgoszcz facilities.
Sensory Integration in children with hearing loss. In children with hearing loss parallel to speech, pedagogical and psychological therapies conducted are other such as Sensory Integration, physical therapy or other forms of rehabilitation individually chosen depending on the needs of the child.
Conclusion. Hearing exercises in accordance with the concept of Sensory Integration applied parallel to other forms of therapy can be used as a part of complex rehabilitation of a child with hearing loss.

Katarzyna Czech, Justyna Paprocka –Gross motor impairments in autism. Fizjoterapia Polska 2021; 21(5); 152-159

Abstract
Gross motor impairments occurring in children with autism spectrum disorders result from abnormal distribution of muscle tone and abnormalities in sensory processing, mainly in the vestibular and proprioceptive systems. The very important role of exercise therapy and sensory integration therapy in children with autism is emphasized for the improvement of the child’s functioning.

Liliana Klimont – Combining the concepts of ndt bobath and the fundamentals of sensory integration in the rehabilitation of a child with X syndrome. Fizjoterapia Polska 2002; 2(1); 57-59

Abstract
Background. Fragile X syndrome entails characteristics dysfunctions in terms of intellectual, sensory, social, motor, and emotional development. This article presents a combinatory of two therapeutic concepts using in diagnosis and therapy: SI and NDT Bobath. Results. Generally speaking, it can be stated that neurodevelopment concentrates on evoking a proper motor reaction in response to incoming sensory information, where the sensory integration approach analyzed the sensory aspects of a motor act. Conclusion. The combination of these two techniques clarifies in a complementary manner the reasons for the deficits, suggesting that the therapeutic action of each approach supplements the other.

N. Habik-Tatarowska, P. Wieczorkowski, Z. Śliwiński – Assessment of the impact of sensory integration method on the development of laterality. Fizjoterapia Polska 2018; 18(4); 122-128

Abstract
Introduction. One of the aspects, or factors in the child’s motor development, is the progressive process of laterality, or, in other words, the lateralized preference of his motor activities. Laterality in children is varied in terms of strength and pace of process development. In many activities, harmonious cooperation of the eye, hand and leg is necessary, which is supported by the domination of organs on the same side of the body. Non-permanent laterality becomes the source of disturbances in spatial orientation and visual-motor coordination. In school age children, disruptions in the process of laterality often cause failures in reading and writing, which may lead to the occurrence of emotional disorders.
Purpose of research. The main objective of the conducted research was to assess the impact of the Sensory Integration method on the development of laterality in children.
Material and methods. Forty-six children aged 7-9 were examined. Analyzes of laterality development were made before the start of the Sensory Integration therapy and after six months of its duration. The research was conducted from June 2016 to December 2017. During the six-month period, Sensory Integration therapy included the following types of exercises: polisensoric stimulation, dexterity exercises, visual analysis and synthesis exercises, exercises of auditory and visual sequences, sequential and simultaneous memory exercises, and eye-hand coordination exercises.
Results and conclusions. The analysis of the conducted research indicates an improvement in the development of laterality as a result of the conducted therapy using the Sensory Integration method. The earlier we help the child choose the dominant hand, the sooner they will be ready to understand the speech of the environment and to independently build grammatically correct sentences.
