Adaptive Response
occurs when a child responds to an environmental change in a creative or useful way
perception
ability to make sense of sensory stimuli
involves cognition and sensory awareness
Perceptual Filters
prior knowledge
experience
motivations
expectations
mood
Sensory Perceptual Memory
initial intake of sensory information
first stage in acquiring memories
vast majority of sensory information disappears
Sensory Processing Skills
brain’s ability to manage and interpret information in an organized manner
5 Familiar Senses
Gustatory
Olfactory
Auditory
Visual
Tactile
3 Hidden Senses
Vestibular sense
Proprioceptive Sense
Interoception
Vestibular Sense
info about body movement and head position through the inner ear
tells us if movement is fast or slow
helps coordinate movement of eyes, head, and body
affects balance, muscle tone, arousal, emotional state, auditory skills, bilateral integration
Proprioceptive Sense
info about what the body is doing, where body parts are in space
affects how much force we put into movement
Interoception
internal organs
hunger, heartbeat, digestion, mood, arousal
sense that helps you understand the internal state of your body
Sensory Integration Dysfunction
We cannot observe sensory integration directly
we observe behavior
Jane ayres
Learning cant occur without
sensory input, processing, response
Sensory Processing Disorder
brain cannot analyze, organize, connect or integrate sensory messages
exaggerated response to non-threatening situations
under response to stimuli
Sensory Seeking
enjoys and generates extra sensory input
Low Registration
notices sensory stimuli much less than others
doesn’t get the jokes as quick
Sensation Avoiding
bothered by input more than others
will only eat familiar foods, doesn’t like feeling of certain textures
Sensory registration problem
inability to attach meaning to an activity because critical info is not being noticed
Sensory Under Responsiveness
doesnt cry when injured
unaware of what is happening around them
does not notice food on their mouth
unaware of hunger sensation
prefers sedentary activities
Sensory hyperactivity (sensory defensiveness)
may occur as a general response or to specific stimuli
activation of sympathetic nervous system
anxiety is common among kids with hyperreactivity
states of over-arousal in response to stimuli
Duration of Effects of Sensory Input and Intervention
Vestibular
4-8 hours
