Sensory Integration

Many autistic children have sensory problems, which can range from mild to severe. These sensory problems involve either hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity to stimulation. Sensory integration can help those children by focusing primarily on three senses

  1. Vestibular (i.e., motion, balance)
  2. Tactile (i.e., touch)
  3. Proprioception (e.g., joints, ligaments).

Many techniques are used to stimulate these senses in order to normalize them.
