Examples of sensory integration disorders amongst toddlers and young children
Maybe you were wondering if your child's behavior does not coincidentally indicate a sensory integration disorder.
In this article you will find a number of examples of how children can behave when they have a sensory integration disorder.
However, there is no reason to panic. If you are worried about your child's behavior, contact a therapist in your neighborhood who is a specialist and will certainly, if necessary, apply appropriate therapeutic methods for your child.

Examples of sensory integration disorders in toddlers and young children:

  • Difficulty to calm down, often crying, anger attacks.
  • Avoiding the touch of other people, pushing away from the parent, not tolerating dressing and some hygienic activities.
  • hitting the head against a wall or cradle, biting, squeezing, squeezing himself or others, no sense of strength, too powerful behavior in contact with others, need a strong touch
  • Resistance to sudden changes in the position of the body, resistance to remain in certain positions, must be constantly in motion
  • unhanded, poor balance, constant falling and tripping
  • problem with distance from the caregiver, excessive withdrawal in new situations, excessive emotional lability (from crying to laughing)
  • abnormal muscle tension, postural abnormalities, walking on fingers
  • motor clumsiness, stiffness, reduced balance and coordination, problems in precision activities such as writing, cutting, drawing.
  • sensitivity to touch (avoiding hygienic activities, labels or certain clothing, playing in the sand)
