This is a powerpoint, I created, with help from a Developmental Specialist named Becky Parker (M. Ed.) who is in the Early Childhood Education/Early Childhood Special Education Program at BYU-Idaho. It talks about the causes and some helpful tips for parents, teachers, and specialists who may work with these amazing people who suffer from Sensory Disorders.

Early Childhood/Special Education
2. Types of Misbehavior
• Attention getting
• Aggressive (redirect with words)
• Non-Compliant (give choices)

3. Sensory Problems
• A child's learning and behavior
problems may be the result of
a neurological disorder (a
sensory dysfunction) that the
child cannot control.
5. Definition
• Children with sensory
processing disorder have
difficulty processing
information from the senses
(touch, movement, smell,
taste, vision, and hearing) and
responding normally to that
information.
6. Who Has Sensory
Processing Disorder?
• Children with Autism, Asperger's,
Cerebral Palsy and other
developmental disabilities often have
SID.
• However, it can also be associated
with premature birth, brain injury,
learning disorders, and other
conditions.
7. What Causes SDI?
• The exact cause is not known.
• Most research suggests it may be due
to irregular brain function.
• Some children experience small
absence seizures.
8. Typical Sensory Systems
• We all have a sensory system,
specific to OUR body
...Discussion...
• Bare foot vs. shoes
• Blankets on the bed
• Temperature
• Food Textures
9. Normal Thresholds
High Arousal – High Sensitivity
Normal (Optimal) Arousal Level
Low Arousal Level – Low Sensitivity
11. Low Sensory (Seekers)
• Active or fidgety
• Can't sit still
• Runs not walks
• Impulsive
• Jump, swing, and spin excessively
• Bumps into people or things
• Difficulty figuring out how to do new tasks
– Their little body system is on
overload
12. Interventions for Seekers

cart

messy supplies (glue, shaving cream,
finger paint, or soap)
• Oversensitive to odors or lights

movements: swinging, sliding,
climbing, etc.

etc.
15. Calming an OVER
stimulated child
• Deep pressure – hugs, cushions, vest, back
packs, bean bags, hands on shoulders
• Deep massage
• Joint compression
• Hot baths or warm water in sink
• Heavy work – pushing clothes in baskets,
crawling, pounding (playdough, drum, etc)
• Low lights, quiet place, wearing a hat or visor
• Calm, reassuring voices
• Running – wears off stress
16. Tantrums
• Manipulative vs. “Spill-over”
– Manipulative tantrums = to get what they want
vs.
– “Spill-over” or overload tantrums = can't hold it in.
• “Cry hard then sleep hard”
• Cannot stop them once they start
• Child is often “sorry” afterwards
17. What DOESN'T work
• Anger, force or pressure to do
something
– This only heightens anxiety
and fear, they may become
more stuck, really won't do it,
or cannot reason and think
clearly
18. Last things to Remember
• Realize sometime pressure heightens
fear
• You cannot reason with the unreasonable
• Consequences are meaningless
• Think “gentle persuasion” more often
than not
• Use a soft, caring voice
• Sometimes YOU are or will have to be
their emotional regulator
