Levels of Sensory Perception Development of Preschoolers Aged 4–7 Years

The article discusses the assessment of sensory integration of preschoolers. The study shows the presence of sensory development problems with children aged 4–7 years, that vary depending on the level of integration. Children show different patterns of responding to sensory stimuli, which affects their cognitive and social development. In the research the author’s diagnostic technique is applied with the established three levels of sensory development. Each level corresponds to an increase in the complexity of perception and requires more intensive support methods. The sample consisted of 117 children. The results highlight the importance of early diagnosis of sensory integration and support for children with below average and low levels of sensory development.
