Guest guest Posted January 25, 2003 Report Share Posted January 25, 2003 Hi Just found the info below on a site, referring to sensory issues. I have marked the ones we have experienced with Sam (more stars = bigger issue) and the interventions that have been successful. Been over some old paperwork and pleased to see sensory issues he had have all been addressed! Needed that today Mandi in UK Your child could be Hyper-reactive if they: distressed by certain sounds**** (TLP) sensitive to light have discomfort from certain textures****** (HNI) have aversions to certain smells and tastes have an irrational fear of heights and movement* (HNI) are frequently startled ***** (CFthen HNI) Or your child could be Hypo-reactive if they: disregard sudden or loud sounds******(CF then HNI) are unaware of painful bumps, bruises, cuts, etc.****** (CF then HNI) are absent to startled reactions **(CF then HNI) lack attention to the environment, persons or things****** (CF then HNI) do not become dizzy with excessive spinning ******(HNI) have delayed responses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Hi I'm sorry I really don't have a clue, but I have heard that is common with ASD children in particular. As you saw on my list, Sam had some of each and even opposites!! Hard to explain. I feel sure the Listenign Programme helped with some of the auditory stuff, CF and then not CF but with HNI enzymes seemed to do the pain stuff and the skins sensitivites went away with the enzymes. I hadn't even noticed they were all gone until I saw that list and checked his diary.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Yes I heard Andy mention this before. Sam used to spin himself around all day and never get dizzy..........then CF/HNI, oops try it once in a while and dizzy he gets for sure now!

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 >>> What does it mean if they have some of both. This can be common too. It may reflect selective sensitivity because you block out some things while trying to tolerate others. My older son and I were hyper-sensitive to everything. Younger son was not sensitive to abrupt physical feelings (bumps, bruises, crashing into the floor) but was excessively sensitive to lights and motions (motions like riding in a car, bus, swerving around physically). .

Hi, a lot of our twin grandsons sensory issues were helped with AUDITORY INTERGRATION THERAPY..... 10 days with half hour sessions in morning and afternoon. The first year session we could see slight improvement The second year they lost their worry of lights and sounds in shopping malls. So it took the two sessions over the two years to get there. take care marion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 you mentioned that he has the sound reactions at sporting events, that could be him getting over stimmed from motion sounds, lots of activity. This is what I try when I can't figure out whats setting him off, I get on his level, things are alot scarier from down there, especially when the unexpected happens. We try to desensitize him to sounds, we take recordings of the sounds that cause it, and slowly introduce them in headphones, very low volume, then as he becomes more comfortable with the sound turn it up...This has worked for me with numerous sounds, we always have set backs though, as we get his oral issues back down the vestibular may come more to the surtface, as we get that down a bit the sounds come back, but I have found, with my son anyways, when something comes back it usually isn't as bad as before.this is just something that works for us...
