Sensory Discrimination Disorder

Your child may have sensory discrimination disorder. This means that he or she may misinterpret stimulation from the environment. A child can struggle with sensory discrimination in one sense or across senses. A child can also struggle with sensory discrimination in one sense and another pattern in another sense. For individuals with sensory discrimination disorder, both Alerting and Calming Tactile, Proprioception, and both Alerting and Calming Vestibular activities can be very helpful.
