Sensory Development in Children and Supportive Suggestions: ''Child Development Perspective''

People receive stimuli from their body and the environment through sensory organs specialized for sensations and the receptors that these organs contain. Stimuli are interpreted and interpreted through the receptors that receive them and transmit them to the relevant centers of the brain. A healthy functioning sensory system increases the quality of life of the individual in parallel. Considering the speed of brain development, especially in infancy and preschool period, and the mediating role of the senses in exploring the environment, it is important to systematically support the senses from an early age. However, the senses may not always develop to the extent expected and some sensory models may occur as a result. In such cases, sometimes behavioral outputs caused by sensory model in the face of a problem can be only described as a behavioral problem. Being aware of this situation, providing appropriate assessment and support to children, involving parents in the process, and conducting the process in a transdisciplinary approach with field experts working with the child (child development specialist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, etc.) will provide positive outcomes in order to provide early intervention and support development. In this article, which emphasizes the importance of supporting sensory development from a child development perspective, the functioning of sensory systems, understanding children's sensory models and the supports that can be provided in this context are included.
