Week 2 Sensory Integration Flashcards
a theory linking specialized neurological processes with observable behavior.
sensory integration
Over responsive vs under responsive to sensory input
Over= large responses to small input under= limited response to input
sensory processing
how the brain _____, ____, and _____ sensory info.
produces an effective response to interpretation of incoming sensory input AKA ______.
Allows an individual to _____, _______, and ______ .
how the brain receives, detects, and integrates incoming sensory info.
adaptive response
Allows an individual to attend and focus, develop motor skills, and participate successfully in social interactions
Sensory Integrative Dysfunction/ disorder…
- Cluster of symptoms that reflect ______.
- Not a _____.
- _____ and _____ interactions
- Produces distorted ________.
Sensory Integrative Dysfunction/ disorder
•Cluster of symptoms that reflect central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction
•Not a primary sensory deficit (e.g., hearing impairment, blindness)
•disorganized and maladaptive interactions
•Produces distorted internal sensory feedback
Categories of Sensory Processing Disorder:
- Over (hyperreactivity) or under responsivity (hypo-reactivity) to sensory experiences
- Continuum of sensory avoidance
- acting in accordance to threshold
Sensory modulation disorders (SMD)
Categories of Sensory Processing Disorder
Postural-ocular disorder, bilateral integration disorder, developmental dyspraxia
Sensory-based motor/movement disorders (SBMD)
Sensory modulation disorder (SMD) is divided into 3 categories:
Sensory over responsivity (SOR)
Sensory under responsivity (SUR)
Sensory craving (SC)
Sensory based motor disorder (SBMB) is divided into 2 categories:
Dyspraxia
Postural-ocular Disorder
Sensory discrimination disorder (SDD) can effect the what systems?
Visual auditory tactile olfactory/gustatory vestibular interoception
• Children who have sensory processing disorders have co-morbidity with a primary diagnosis, such as:
Autism Learning disability Attention deficit disorder Anxiety disorders Panic disorders Attachment disorders
Early Signs of Sensory Processing Dysfunction
- Lack of cuddling behavior
- Failure to make eye contact
- Oversensitivity to sounds or touch
- Oral motor difficulties
- Poor self-regulation
- Irritability
- Colic
- Lack of curiosity
- Disorganized and destructive exploration of the environment
Cause of SPD?
not caused by:
Dysfunction in:
- Unknown
- Not caused by “injury” to the brain
- Dysfunction in lower levels of the brain
Define Gravitational insecurity:
what SPD nosology?
fear of head positioning changes
SMD
Define Tactile defensiveness:
what SPD nosology?
touch/textures set you over the edge.
SMD
Define Sensory seeking/craving:
what SPD nosology?
Always spinning, touching, moving/ craving sensory input SMD
