Sensory defensiveness

feels like to be "normal"; even if it 's just for this one time. Reaching this monumental moment took years of commitment and therapy to help him cope with his sensitivity to sensory inputs. Jack has Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), a complex neurological condition that often leaves individuals feeling overwhelmed by sensory stimuli. In the past, little time and money were spent on studying this disorder, but lately this has changed. Increases in neuroatypical diagnosis amongst children…

In the Language Context subtest area, the client obtained a standard score of 94 with a percentile rank of 34 and a confidence interval of 88-100. This standard score is within normal functional limits. In the Language Structure subtest area, Bernie obtained a standard score of 85 with a percentile rank of 16 with a confidence interval of 79-91. This standard score indicates a borderline average score. In the subtest area of Working Memory, the client obtained a standard score of 77 with a…

reading “The Out-of-Sync Child,” I had some experience with Sensory Processing Disorder, but had not done appropriate research of the diagnosis for a deeper understanding. There are many different ways children may be affected with sensory processing disorder. All senses are potentially affected and some children may have a more severe case than others. The book defines SPD as “difficulty in the way the brain takes in, organizes and uses sensory information, causing a person to have problems…

As a project for my Child Development class, I completed an observational child study. I chose a four year old male child of one of my co-workers, whom I had met several months prior to the study. Paxton was born on June 15, 2012 and was six weeks premature. Aside from the requirement of a feeding tube at birth, Paxton suffered no complications. At 30 pounds and 33 inches, he is in the 5th percentile in weight and the 25th percentile in height (Clinical Growth Charts, 2016). His height is…

Language Theory / Neurological Explanation Due to Bernie having difficulty with following directions, remaining on task, interacting appropriately with adults and peers, and since language is still developing, a cognitive connectionist language theory is best described for Bernie’s case. Cognitive connectionist or information-processing theorist according to Nickola W. Nelson in Language and Literacy Disorders, 2010, believe language is learned “using the same set of information process…

Childhood program. Summary of Procedures: Emma was evaluated in small office at Protsman Elementary School along with observation within her classroom. The School Companion Sensory Profile 2, VMI and observations were used to assess her current strengths and weaknesses. Sensory/Observations: The School Companion Sensory…

exhibited sensory deficits. While there is little to no findings on sensory dysfunction and Chomsky’s Linguistic Innateness theory, there is information regarding the correlation of reading disorders and linguistics (Catts and Kamhi, 1986). Amanda’s type of sensory disorder makes her hypersensitive to sound and visual stimulation. Although there is limited evidence to support sensory intervention, there is no reason to refuse to incorporate a type of sensory diet to attempt to remediate the…

to be informed of the impact nutrition has on a child. Having the proper nutrition is important to maintaining good health, uneventful childhood development, and minimization to sensory overload. Uneventful childhood development includes; allergies, deifies, childhood dieses, and disruptive behaviors. Minimizing sensory overload is the sensitivity, how something feels, looks, and taste. Claire Capaldi…

Introduction Several learning disabilities exhibit symptoms that are very similar to Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). These disorders affect sensory perception. One is Audio Processing Disorder (APD), another is Visual Processing Disorder (VPD), and the third is Sensory Processing Disorder (VPD). This paper defines these four disorders, explores commonalities among symptoms, and offers suggestions of accommodations that could help in a classroom where multiples of these…

It can also provide a social outlet that may otherwise be difficult for the patient to engage in. However, it stands to reason that with Sensory Integration Therapy used as the only therapy treatment, a child improves at a given task simply due to practice, whereas with IM or iLS he or she is able to complete a series of unrelated new commands on the grounds that the neural pathways in the…
