child-playing-1515545

Are your child’s sensory issues affecting daily function at home or at school?

This may be characterised by an oversensitivity or undersensitivity to Touch, Movement, Taste, Smell, Sound and Sight.

Does your child have:

  • Unusually high or low activity levels?
  • Motor co-ordination difficulties?
  • Frequent accidents, is accident-prone and clumsy?
  • A tendency to seek or avoid sensory stimuli?
  • Poor self-esteem and lacking self-confidence?

Children experiencing these may have difficulties with self-regulation as part of sensory integration dysfunction.
