A few examples of behaviours linked to sensory processing
These are just some examples of behaviours that can be linked to sensory information processing. When there are problems in this area the sensory information is not processed correctly which leads to a behavioural response that is not suited to the situation as far as we can see it. Children can be overly sensitive to sounds, light, touch or movements but they can also be undersensitive. The ability to concentrate is closely connected to sensory processing and can therefore be affected by difficulties in this area.
I asses how the sensory processing in your child is taking place. I provide background information to you in order to better understand your child’s behaviour and how to deal with situations. From around 7 years of age I can teach the child to understand what is happening in their body, why they respond the way they do and how they can change this them self. Is some case this takes up a lot of time. Often the difficulties are complex and not easily assessed. In these situations, it can happen that more time is needed then the 10 hours that are covered by the health insurance. When this seems to be the case as the sessions go along, we will discuss how the remaining time is best used.
Children with a diagnosis of ASS or ADHD often have difficulties with the sensory processing and can also benefit from intervention.
