Sensory processing disorders ppt with voicekruprecht
The document discusses sensory processing disorders and their treatment. It begins by explaining how a typical sensory system works and the process of sensory integration from infancy to childhood. It then defines sensory processing disorder and describes four main categories. Symptoms are outlined for each sense. Treatment focuses on providing the right level of sensory input through activities involving movement, touch, and deep pressure. Case examples demonstrate how brief sensory-based interventions can improve self-awareness, body perception, and functioning for individuals with sensory processing disorders.
Sensory processing disorder affects how the brain processes sensory information from the environment. It can cause individuals to be over-responsive or under-responsive to sensory input like touch, sound, and movement. A sensory room is designed to help individuals with SPD by providing controlled sensory activities and equipment tailored to their needs, with the goal of improving their ability to regulate and respond to sensory stimulation.
This document discusses sensory processing in children and whether sensory integration techniques support language development. It defines sensory integration and outlines various sensory processing patterns seen in children, including those with autism spectrum disorder. While early research showed improvements in language and other skills from sensory integration therapy, later meta-analyses found no effects on language outcomes. However, incorporating sensory-based activities into therapy sessions can help children organize their sensory systems and facilitate increased attention, which may support language production and comprehension. Examples of sensory-based activities are provided for different sensory processing profiles.
Sensory Integration, Occupational Therapy Speech ,Language and Communicationjilu123
Sensory Integration, Occupational Therapy, Speech, Language and Communication are discussed. Sensory Integration involves organizing sensory information from the body and environment for daily life use. Occupational Therapy focuses on developing motor, self-care, and cognitive skills through purposeful activities. Speech and Language issues can cause delays in communication development. Therapists assess deficits and set SMART goals to improve integration of senses, motor skills, communication, and independence through therapy techniques.
Sensory Processing Disorder is under-recognized among medical professionals but known well among Speech language and occupational therapists. Also known as Sensory Integration Dysfunction, it overlaps with Autism Spectrum, Aspergers, ADD, and ADHD or may be its own disorder. Person with this are often highly reactive to their environment (but can be under reactive). Knowing how to structure their environment, provide family and client support, and calm secondary symptoms with Homeobotanicals is key for managing it.
This document discusses sensory processing and sensory processing disorder. It begins by explaining how the sensory systems work together to give us information about the world. It then defines sensory processing as the receiving and perceiving of sensory information from the various sensory systems. The main sensory systems - tactile, auditory, visual, olfactory, and gustatory - are then described in more detail. Sensory processing disorder is introduced as a condition where individuals process and respond to sensory information differently than most others. While not recognized as an official diagnosis, it can present as difficulties with planning, organization, and daily activities. The document concludes with descriptions of common sensory behaviors seen in SPD and potential sensory-based strategies to address them.
Sensory integration therapy is used to help children to learn to use all their senses together. That is touch,smell,taste,sight and hearing can improve difficulties/problems in children with special need.

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a condition where individuals have difficulty processing sensory information like touch, sound, and movement. It affects around 1 in 20 children. People with SPD may feel overwhelmed by sensory input or seek intense sensations. They have trouble with motor skills, social skills, and school performance. Occupational therapy helps teach skills to manage sensory input but the causes and best treatments are still being researched. SPD is being considered for inclusion in the DSM-V diagnostic manual.
This document discusses sensory processing disorder and how it can lead to challenging behaviors in children. It defines sensory processing disorder as difficulty processing and responding to sensory information from the senses. Children with autism or developmental disabilities often have sensory issues. The causes are not fully known but may involve irregular brain function. The document describes how children can be either sensory seekers who crave stimulation or sensory avoiders who are overstimulated easily. It provides interventions for each type and tips for managing tantrums which may result from sensory overload.

The document summarizes a study on sensory integration dysfunction in children ages 2 to 5. The study observed 5 children with known sensory sensitivities and found they exhibited behaviors linked to dysfunction in bilateral integration, praxis, somatosensory processing, and regulating emotions. Techniques like deep pressure, joint squeezing and tight wrapping calmed and grounded the children by helping them feel more connected to their physical environment. The study did not prove a connection between sensory sensitivity and other SI issues but suggests more research is needed.
Sensation is the detection of physical stimuli by sensory receptors and nerves that transmit signals to the brain. It begins with stimulation of receptors by energy from the external environment or body. There are several attributes of sensation including quality, intensity, duration, and extensity. The sensory threshold is the minimum level of stimulation that can be detected, varying for different senses. Sensory adaptation occurs when sensitivity decreases with prolonged exposure to an unchanging stimulus, allowing attention to focus on more important changes in the environment. Habituation is a similar process where the behavioral response decreases with repeated encounters to an unimportant stimulus.
Sensory integration is the ability to process sensory information from our environment to respond appropriately. It involves the tactile, auditory, visual, gustatory, olfactory, vestibular and proprioceptive senses. As teachers, we need to be aware of students' sensory needs and implement strategies like fidget toys, noise-cancelling headphones, weighted lap pads, and movement breaks to help students properly process sensory input. Meeting students' sensory needs allows them to better focus and learn.
This document discusses the development of gross and fine motor skills in children. It defines gross motor skills as those involving the large muscles and whole body, such as walking, running, and jumping. Fine motor skills involve the hands and fingers, like writing, cutting, and building with blocks. The document then lists typical milestones for both gross and fine motor development in infants and children. It emphasizes the importance of allowing children freedom to practice skills and providing opportunities and materials that encourage motor development. Developing these skills helps children gain confidence and independence.
What are gross motor skills? Gross motor skills involve the larger, stronger muscle groups.
In early child development, it’s the development of these muscles that enable infants to hold their head up, sit up independently, crawl, and eventually walk, run, jump and skip.
Learn about the gross motor skill development for infants from 0-21 months old in this presentation. We've also included activities you can do with your baby to help encourage the development of their gross motor skills.
Introduction to Sensation, Perception and AttentionD Dutta Roy
The document provides an introduction to sensation, perception, and attention in psychology. It defines sensation as the awareness of stimuli through sensory receptors. It discusses the attributes and thresholds of sensation, as well as how the brain processes sensory information. It then defines perception as how the brain organizes and interprets sensory information. It outlines several principles of perception like figure-ground and proximity. Finally, it defines attention and the types of attention, and discusses signs of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Memory involves encoding, storing, and retrieving information. It has three main stages - encoding where information enters the brain, storage where it is held, and retrieval where it is recalled. There are three types of memory - sensory which holds information briefly, short-term which lasts around 30 seconds, and long-term which can hold memories indefinitely. Factors like attention, motivation, methods of learning, and testing influence how well information is remembered.
Sleepwalking, also known as somnambulism, is a sleep disorder where people walk or do other activities while asleep. It most commonly affects children aged 6-12 years old, but can also occur in adults and the elderly due to factors like alcohol, drugs, anxiety, or underlying medical conditions. Symptoms include roaming around the house and being difficult to wake up while engaged in routine activities. Treatments may include medication, relaxation techniques, or anticipatory awakenings. Sleepwalkers should take safety precautions like sleeping on the ground floor and avoiding dangerous objects. One case study involved a man who murdered his mother-in-law while asleep due to severe insomnia. Maintaining good sleep hygiene can help
Sensory integration is the process by which the nervous system receives input from our senses and organizes the information to produce an appropriate motor response. Children with sensory integration dysfunction may have difficulty processing and responding to sensory stimuli. Strategies to address sensory integration issues include providing a sensory diet of calming and alerting activities, general calming techniques like deep pressure massage, and accommodations in school like allowing movement breaks. This helps children develop self-regulation and the ability to focus and learn.
This document summarizes sensory and perceptual development from infancy to childhood. It discusses how each sense develops, including vision maturing slowly, infants preferring faces and patterns, and auditory and tactile senses being most developed at birth. Integration of senses also develops, from newborns expecting touch matches vision, to infants matching voices and faces by 3-6 months. Attention span and selective attention improve as children develop more systematic exploration of their environment.
1. Sensation is the detection of stimuli by sensory receptors, while perception is the organization and interpretation of sensory information.
2. The eye detects light and converts it into neural signals through specialized sensory receptors like rods and cones in the retina. These signals are then organized and interpreted in the visual cortex of the brain.
3. Binocular and monocular depth cues like convergence, retinal disparity, relative size, and linear perspective allow us to perceive a three-dimensional world from the two-dimensional retinal image.
The document discusses emotions from a psychological perspective. It defines emotions, describes their components including subjective feelings, physiological changes, and expressions. It explains major theories of emotions and how they relate to emotional adjustment and health. The objectives are to help students and professionals better understand emotions, their nature, dynamics and control to help improve emotional well-being.
Sensory Integration : Problem & approach in cerebral palsy jitendra jain
Most of the time in children with cerebral palsy, our focus are toward management of motor problem but it has been realized that these children never have only motor problem but most of time they also have sensory processing defect and both dysfunction are correlated to each other so intervention can not be done separately so every one them require detail sensory assessment and proper technique should be utilized to correct specific sensory problem.
Perceptual organization & factors influencing perceptionDr. Purshottam Jaspa
The document discusses perceptual organization and the factors that influence human perception. It defines perceptual organization as the process of grouping external stimuli into recognizable patterns and objects. It describes the Gestalt laws of perceptual organization, which were principles developed by Gestalt psychologists to explain how smaller objects are grouped into larger ones. The document also lists and briefly explains several factors that can influence human perception, including characteristics of the perceiver, target, and situation.
Sensation is the impact of external stimuli on our sensory receptors, while perception is our brain's interpretation of these sensory inputs. Transduction is the process where environmental stimuli are converted into neural impulses that are transmitted to the brain. The brain then processes these impulses to create useful information and meaning about the world. Key concepts in sensation and perception include absolute and difference thresholds, signal detection theory, and sensory adaptation in which we become less sensitive to unchanging stimuli over time.
This document discusses sensory integration techniques. It defines sensory integration as the process by which the brain organizes sensory input to produce useful responses. It describes the seven senses and the three main sensory systems - tactile, proprioceptive, and vestibular. For each system, it provides examples of how it works and suggestions for activities to improve sensory integration. Implementing these techniques may help children improve attention, processing, flexibility, balance, motor skills and handwriting.

Sensory integration is a neurological process that allows individuals to make sense of sensations from their body and environment. Sensory integration disorder occurs when this process is not functioning properly, making it difficult for individuals to respond appropriately. Sensory integration therapy aims to stimulate the senses through activities involving movement, touch, sound, and vision to help brains better process sensory information. Research suggests this therapy can help brains of children with sensory integration disorder change and develop through rich sensory experiences.
Presentation expands on the specific problems persons with SPD have. Also gives a checklist of characteristic behaviors and issues in persons w/Sensory Processing.
Self-regulation skills are important for children's academic and personal success. These skills include sensory regulation, attention regulation, emotional regulation, and impulse control. Both nature and nurture influence children's abilities to self-regulate. Teachers can support self-regulation by creating supportive classrooms, modeling behaviors, and helping children develop coping strategies for handling difficult experiences. When challenges occur, teachers should seek to understand triggers, help children problem-solve, and reflect on their own responses to build children's self-awareness and social emotional skills.
This document discusses different perspectives on motivation:
- Instinct theory proposes that motivation comes from instincts like nest-building in birds. Drive-reduction theory says physiological needs create arousal states that motivate behavior to reduce the drive.
- Arousal theory suggests people are motivated to reach an optimal state of alertness. Too little or too much arousal hinders performance.
- Maslow's hierarchy of needs proposes basic physiological needs must be met before safety, belonging, esteem, and self-actualization needs can motivate behavior.

Engage the rhythms of your brain.stephen dolleStephen Dolle
Stephen Dolle presents on engaging the rhythms of the brain through drumming. He discusses how drumming can benefit cognition, movement, sensory integration, socialization, language development, and induce trance-like brain wave entrainment states. Dolle also outlines his research on how syncopated drumming patterns can aid cognition while unsyncopated patterns can impair it. He proposes applications of drumming in education, healthcare, and community building.
Sensory processing disorder (SPD) occurs when the brain has difficulty receiving and responding to sensory information from the environment. Children with SPD may struggle with tasks due to hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity to touch, movement, sights, sounds, and smells. This can impact social skills, motor skills, attention, and behavior. While estimates vary, around 1 in 20 children experience SPD symptoms significant enough to interfere with daily life. Educators need to understand SPD to better recognize signs in students and help implement strategies to support their learning. Occupational therapy can also help children process sensory information more effectively.
This document contains a series of questions and answers about project risk management processes and techniques:
1) It describes using decision tree analysis to evaluate options and determine which decision yields the greatest expected value when considering uncertainties.
2) Identify Risks is the process used to determine which risks may affect a project and document their characteristics.
3) Residual risks are risks that remain after risk responses have been implemented and deliberately accepted risks.
4) Contingency plans are planned in advance while workarounds are responses to unplanned risks that have occurred.
5) Establishing a contingency reserve for unplanned risks is an example of active risk acceptance.
1) The study investigated how varying the convergence (number of connections between nodes) of patterned neuronal networks affected their functional connectivity and information transmission fidelity. 2) Networks with higher convergence showed slightly better information transmission fidelity, especially over shorter paths, but convergence had little effect on functional connection strengths. 3) Functional connectivity decreased significantly with distance between nodes, though less so in networks with higher convergence. Overall, convergence modestly influenced information propagation depending on path length, while distance more strongly shaped functional connectivity.

What are the signs and symptoms of Sensory Processing Disorder and how can th...Butterfly Learnings
Sensory processing is how our brains use what we sense (see, hear, taste and smell) to make sense of the world. A child with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is either very sensitive or not sensitive enough to the things around them. Children with ‘SPD’ can feel overwhelmed, stressed and anxious by their senses and go into flight or fight mode and feel in danger. They often have meltdowns - a way of them letting you know they are feeling really uncomfortable. Because their brain sees the sensory input as "not enough," sensory seekers respond to sensory stimuli with an urge to seek out more. Sensory sensitive children often respond with a fight, flight or freeze response because their brain experiences the input as *too much*.

School training module seven,autism and sensory differencessworaac
This document outlines training modules for understanding autism spectrum disorders. It focuses on module seven which discusses autism and sensory differences. Students with ASD often experience differences in processing sensory input. They may overreact or underreact to sounds, sights, smells, tastes, touches, and movement. Preparing students for upcoming sensory experiences and avoiding unexpected stimuli can help reduce anxiety. The document provides examples of sensory sensitivities and strategies to support students.
The document outlines training modules for understanding autism spectrum disorders. It covers 18 modules that address topics such as defining autism, cognition and learning, communication, behavior, sensory processing, and transitioning to adulthood. One module focuses specifically on sensory differences in individuals with autism and strategies for managing sensitivity or seeking across the senses of sound, vision, smell, taste, touch and movement. The goal is to help understand behaviors that may seem "illogical" or "extreme" from a sensory perspective.
Autism is a neurological disorder that affects communication, social interaction, and behavior patterns. It is diagnosed in approximately 1 in 150 children and is the fastest growing developmental disability. While the exact causes are unknown, genetics and abnormal brain development are thought to play a role. Students with autism exhibit a wide range of abilities and challenges, and often have difficulties with social skills, communication, behavior, and sensory processing. Effective teaching strategies focus on clear expectations, preparation for changes, praise, and accommodation of individual needs.
The document discusses the sensory systems and how they work together to give us information about the world. It describes the main sensory systems - tactile, vestibular, proprioception, auditory, visual, olfactory, and gustatory. It explains how sensory processing occurs and potential problems with sensory processing. The roles of different neurotransmitters are outlined. Sensory behaviors and strategies to address them are provided, along with calming and alerting activities.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

4. What is Your
Response to……
A cold shower
Wearing wool sweaters/clothing
Being in wet socks/shoes
Wearing tight jeans/pants
The feel of Jell-O in your mouth
Spicy foods
The sound of birds/traffic/background noises
The sound of a nail down a chalk board
Bright colored walls in the bedroom
The smell of perfumes, certain foods
Packed elevators/rooms

5. Our Senses: The sensations that the
nervous system recognizes.
The five (5) common & two (2) “Hidden Senses” that
relate to our body position & movements
* Hearing / Auditory
* Taste / Gustatory
* Touch / Tactile
* Sight / Visual
* Smell / Olfactory
“Hidden Senses”
* Vestibular / Movement
* Proprioception / Body Position
6. Vestibular Sensory System:
Sense of Balance
This system involves balance as well as the
relationship we have to spatial orientation; which way
is up, down, left, right, horizontal or vertical
This system also tells the
individual if they are
moving or not, how fast
and in what direction –
movement, balance &
coordination
7. Proprioceptive Sensory System:
Movement & Sense of Body in Space
The way we receive information from
our muscles, joints and tendons telling
the body where it or the body part is at a
given moment = Body Awareness
Nerve Pathways travel two ways
and relay messages from the
muscles to the brain & back
Muscle Memory – Drive a car, play a sport/instrument
8. Sensory Processing / Integration:
The ability to take in, organize/process & then respond to the sensory
input in a meaningful & appropriate way
9. What Does It Look Like?
NONE of these are right or wrong!!!
We all process differently but when it is impacting
us negatively we need to address it
Hypersensitive or
Over-Responsive
Hyposensitive or
Under-Responsive
Low Sensory or
Seekers
High Sensitivity
or Active Avoider
4 Reasons of Any Sensory Overload (TAPE):
Terror
Annoyance
Pain
Exhaustion
10. Hypersensitive or Over-Responsive
Need little amount of energy or stimulation
Heightened awareness & high sensitivity but lacks active response
Can become easily overwhelmed
Complains of things “bothering” them & is frequently anxious/upset
Overreacts to small changes in the environment
Tactile: Responds negatively to light touch, including
the anticipation of touch; touch seems scary or
uncomfortable; wrestle during dressing or lifting; kick,
punch, scream when someone is too close
Visual: Reacts
strongly to contrasts,
reflections, bright
lights; may turn eyes
away or cover them;
may be disturbed by

sliding or swinging; may
may plug nose; may
become easily dizzy;
become upset by
may lose the ability to
certain smells or tastes
keep up with others
OPPOSITIONAL: JC-shoes, touch / TB-playground, car, foods
11. Hyposensitive or Under-Responsive
Need a lot of energy or stimulation
Poor awareness and low sensitivity to stimulation
Miss environmental cues
Slow Processing
Auditory: Seems
Tactile: Often disregards touch;
unaware of sounds;
typical injuries don‟t hurt, usually
does not respond
doesn‟t protect self well
visibly to sounds;

holiday decorations,
have been an “easy baby”;
Taste: Might be
rearranged furniture;
lacks inner drive to move
able to eat foods
may not respond fast
actively; doesn‟t usually
that have a lot of
enough when objects
taste, spice,
come in their direction; seek movement, but once
started, has difficulty
flavor
may stare at objects or
stopping; doesn‟t protect
people‟s faces
self well from falling
QUIET: JT-staring, low
voice, gym & balls
12. Low Sensory or Seekers
Heightened awareness with low sensitivity to stimulation
Will seek out input
Frequently and intensively moving, jumping, spinning, touching
Tactile: Needs more deep pressure & skin
Auditory: Loves crowds and
contact than most; touch & feel everything
places with noisy action; wants to
in sight, even dangerous things or things
turn the volume up; may make
uncomfortable to others; loves messy play
own noisy sounds; uses “outside
IN YOUR FACE: BP-voice,
voice” often
up close, touchy/feely
Vestibular: Seeks & enjoys
Visual:

span may be short
flavorful foods
13. Active Avoider
High Awareness with a high sensitivity & active responses
Will actively avoid things / events - excuses
Searches out escape areas, covers ears/eyes, shows aggression to “Protect” self
Tactile: Initial response to avoid the
situation with excuses – responds negatively
to touch, especially the anticipation of
touch; avoids closeness first then will kick,
punch, scream if someone is too close
Visual: Initial response
to avoid the situation
with excuses – when
forced to attend may
turn eyes away or cover
them; may stay off on
the side or in back
OPPOSITIONAL: TSexcuses, auditory, tactile
Auditory: Initial response to avoid
the situation with excuses – is hyper
alert; easily distracted; irritated by
sounds; covers ears; refuse to
participate prior to events
Vestibular: Initial
response to avoid the
situation with excuses –
Movement, or the
possibility of it, causes
anxiety or panic; avoids
group games, playground
activities
Taste: Initial response
to avoid the situation
with excuses – Objects
to unknown textures or
temperatures of foods;
refuse to try new
things
14. 2 Challenges of the Un-Adapted
Areas Mentioned….
1. Low Sensory/Seeker & Active Avoider Can Appear Similar:
•
•
•
Both may move frequently
Low Sensory/Seekers are looking for the stimulation
Avoiders are attempting to escape the stimulation
2. Under-Responder & Overwhelmed Can Also Appear Similar:
• May not appear as “sensory needy” as the seeker/avoider
• Overwhelmed are vigilant and will have anxiety to the environment and will
resist change
• Under-responders also may not respond to environmental cues, however due to
lack of awareness and not vigilance
15. Is It Behavioral?
DEFINITION: The range of actions & mannerisms made in response to the
environment
Children & adults can learn strategies in order to respond to the
environment and adjust our behaviors
Children tend to use one or two strategies for multiple
situations and may be the ONLY way a child knows how to
behave and after repeated use (reinforcement) without
correction becomes established
HOWEVER….once established
it MAY appear willful, BUT we
must remember that a CHILD
often acts without thinking or
analyzing their behavior.
Real question is
to ask WHY are
they acting this
way???
16. Sensory VS. Behavior
Sensory processing disorders frequently
get labeled as behavioral problems,
inattention, distractibility, motor
coordination, hyper/hypo sensitivities,
anxiety/panic attacks or other emotional
problems
Addressing ONLY the Behavioral
issues does not address the whole
problem, leaving the Sensory issues
unaddressed and we then still see
issues occur
17. What Does It Really Look Like?
AUDITORY
Covers ears in loud
environments/situations
AND/OR does not respond to
being called/spoken to
TACTILE
Doesn‟t like to be
touched/touches everyone &
everything, does not like glue,
paint, marker on fingers/hands,
does not like bath, hair combed,
certain clothes/fabrics
VISUAL
Squints in bright
environments, trouble
focusing on one object or
person AND/OR eye tracking
difficulties
SMELL
Sick with strong orders
present, smells/sniffs
everything they are in
contact with
18. What Does It Really Look Like?
TASTE
Picky eater, puts
everything in their
mouth or licks things
PROPRIOCEPTIVE
Looks clumsy, accident prone,
trouble coordinating body
movements
VESTIBULAR
Difficulty with motion,
spinning, swinging OR
craves motion, spinning
swinging
19. FOR
PARENTS
What Can We (Adults) Do?
During the Distress Period / Meltdown
REMEMBER: As the adult we need to
introduce/teach them how to respond/regulate their
reactions!
Deep Breaths to stay calm
Hydration / Health / Food / Sleep
STOP TALKING!!!
Listen
LISTEN MORE
Validate his/her feelings
Collaborate with them to solve the current problem
Show them you appreciate them often
20. What Can We (Adults) Do?
FOR
PARENTS
During the Calm / Preventative
GOAL: REMAIN REGULATED! Encourages
rational thinking to process & function
• Identify past & present symptoms &/or situation
• Map out the child‟s daily routine
•
People, Time, Activities, Similar Children
• Minimize the current impact (PTA)
•
Prevent, Treat, Accommodate
• Ensure the Big Four!
•
•
•
•
•
Sleep, Stress, Nutrition, Chemical Exposure
Develop sensory replacements (Sensory Diet)
Form a team of supportive therapies / providers & include the child!
Adapt the environment
References / Resources
21. Sensory Diets
Created by Patricia Wilbarger, OT
• Just as you need food throughout the course of the day, we need
sensory input, and opportunities for getting away from stimulation,
spread out over the whole day.
• A carefully designed, personalized activity plan that provides the
sensory input a person needs to stay focused and organized throughout
the day.
• Examples: Jiggling your leg, chewing gum to stay awake, soaking in a
hot tub to unwind
• Infants, young children, teens, and adults with mild to severe sensory
issues can all benefit from a personalized sensory diet.
• Ideally, you should work with an Occupational Therapist who
specializes in sensory processing issues
22. SOME Sensory Strategies
Vestibular / Proprioceptive

29. Sensory Stepping Stones
Developmental Rehabilitation
& Learning Center
A center dedicated to providing a variety of both
traditional & innovative treatment programs for those
having difficulties with:
Sensory Integration, Gross Motor Planning &
Coordination, Attention & Focus, Cognitive Skills,
Fine & Visual Motor Coordination, Visual Perceptual
Skills & Reading Development.
(Sensory processing skills & developmental learning abilities)
.
30. HOW?
Through Sensory Adaptation
Sensory adaptation is the reduced sensitivity to stimulation
that results from repeated presentations of that stimulation
As humans we get used to things in life including smells,
sounds, sights, games, people, situations... after a while we
get used to everything.
Examples: Rental Car (Smoker/Non-smoker)
Loud / Dark Restaurant
Sensory Adaptation occurs when sensory
receptors change their sensitivity to the
stimulus
