| dc.description.abstract | Introduction: The importance of early intervention and speech – language therapy in working with children with developmental dysphasia need not be specially emphasized because it has been confirmed many times by numerous empirical research data. On the other hand, sensory integration, as well as sensory processing disorders, are rarely discussed, mainly because there is still disagreement within medical profession whether this group of disorders is separate, or just a symptom of some other disorders. Method: The purpose of this paper is to present the concept of sensory integration, the treatment of sensory processing disorders, and possible consequences for the development of the child if these are not treated. Through the case study of a child diagnosed within sensory processing disorders and developmental dysphasia, we will try to show that this group of disorders is separate and, as such, requires a separate approach. Also, another goal of this paper is to emphasize the importance of holistic approach to the child in the therapeutic process and to remind us about the unbreakable connection 226 ABSTRACTS FOR 11TH EUROPEAN CONGRESS FOR INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE between motor, emotional, cognitive and verbal abilities, and that development of neither of them can be launched without launching other gears in a mechanism called human organism. Conclusion: Only in this way we can meet the specific needs of each child and show the respect of their personality.
