Sensory Motor Integration
Children with autism often have a secondary diagnosis
of sensory dysfunction.
This may be found in the child who cannot get enough
sensory input, and needs to touch everything, jump on
things, and simply craves input.
Or it may be the child that can't stand touch, doesn't
like certain clothing because it irritates them, and
cannot handle sounds.
Sensory integration allows us to take in information,
and know how to store it for future use.
Working with an occupational therapist can help a
child and help develop their senses so that they are
not hyper-sensitive or hypo-sensitive.
Doing so may help to reduce behaviour problems, and help
them focus when they need to.
There is a useful resource abour Sensory Integration that
you may be interested in called "Learn to Move, Move to
Learn!"
Click Here to read more details about this book.
The author of the book is a paediatric Ocupational
Therapist called Jenny Clark Brack with over 14
years’ experience in school settings.
Learn to Move, Move to Learn! is based on her experiences
working with teams of therapists and teachers in early
childhood settings.
Each of the creative theme-based group lessons in this
practical resource, follows a sensory-integrated
developmental sequence consisting of seven activities,
all related to the theme.
This program can be modified to the needs of the child,
and provides instructions for how to develop additional
lessons.
A chapter on school readiness skills shows how the
lessons prepare children for later success in school.
