Sažetak
Sensory systems begin to form before childbirth and they continue to evolve rapidly during early childhood. In the early child development and continuously through life, the body is exposed to a variety of tactile, visual, auditory, gustatory, olfactory, vestibular and proprioceptive environmental stimulations. The impressions of the outside world are sensory collected, therefore incentives from the environment in which the child resides are crucial for an optimal development. Lack of adequate incentives from the external environment can leave lasting effects on a child's development and lead to problems in perception, learning and behavior. Applying early integration pro‐grams can facilitate the process of plasticity of the brain and lead to the recovery of damaged functions, also it can be implemented in a variety of settings, with the emphasis being on the child’s natural environment. All of the above was a reason to start a project „Sensory integration“. The purpose of the project was to influence an entire development of early age children, children with risk factors and different special needs. Examples of the activities and offered incentives are presented by the sensory systems, but the division is conditional since sensory systems include more sensory stimulations, and are interconnected.
