Your child may be sensory under-responsive. This means that he or she may have trouble detecting sensations or be slow to respond to sensations, and the amount of stimulus usually needed to activate a certain response may be perceived by your child as too little. Some people call this type of sensory processing "low registration" because many times kids have trouble registering that stimulation even happened. A child can be under-responsive in one sense and display a different pattern in another sense. A child can also be under-responsive one day and display a different pattern in the same sense another day. For under-responders, Alerting Tactile, Proprioception, and Alerting Vestibular activities can be very helpful. Follow the links below for more regulating activities to try with your child.
