Comment “SENSE” for more about what happens when there is not enough sensory input…
Without sensory input, you may get what we like to call “garbage in the brain.” Does this mean something bad? Not at all! It may just mean your child or student’s body isn’t getting the sensory input they need so the brain begins to try and filter it out. You may start to see the brain struggling to filter out unwanted sensory information through behavior, big emotions or interactions with others.
If the brain can’t filter out unwanted sensory information, you may find the child experiencing the following:
😖Sensory meltdowns
😖Sensory sensitivities
😖Withdrawing or hiding
😖Impulsive and can’t focus
😖In fight or flight mode
There are many ways we can help provide a child with the right sensory input they need that targets their sensory system and calms the brain.
To learn about all the areas where we can add additional sensory input and what sensory stimulation your child or student may need to fit their individual needs, comment “SENSE” and we’ll send you the link.
