Techniques for kids with sensory integration dysfunction
BackOur daughter Jewel has had difficulty dealing with the senses she experiences. Loud sounds have always been very upsetting to her. Touch has always been hard for her to process. She is very sensitive to smells and all the other senses are highly sensitive. Since she started gymnastics in Jan 08 she has improved dramatically. You can google sensory integration or sensory processing dysfunction and find lots of helpful websites to help you teach your childs body how to process their environment properly. I talk about the body compressions, using the body brush, doing deep pressure massage and other soothing techniques for you to help your child. Through time you will find that your child's brain will rewire itself properly if you apply these and other techniques and they will be able to function normally in their environment. Be patient with them it is not their fault but it is a very hard thing for them just to go through all the stimulation we experience in one day. It can take a long time of doing this and other things to help them. Each child is unique and some of these ideas will not pertain to your child. My child is highly sensitive while others may not feel much at all. So design a program that you both feel comfortable with.
