SENSORY DIFFICULTIES

There many reasons for a child to experience sensory issues:

▪ Oversensitive to sensory information - hypersensitivity
Attempts to avoid sensory experiences – for example, they might cover their ears when they hear loud noises, eat only foods with a certain texture or taste, wear only certain types of loose-fitting clothing, or resist having hair cuts or brushing teeth.

▪ Undersensitive to sensory information - hyposensitivity
Attempts to seek out sensory experiences – for example, they might wear tight-fitting clothing, look for things to touch, hear or taste, or rub their arms and legs against things.
