He cannot decode

Whether the child has severe, moderate, or mild dysfunction, he or she needs understanding and help. Ignoring the problems won't make them disappear.

My son is an under sensitive child, meaning he seeks more stimulation.

Taste

He seems unaware of pain. He chews on inedible objects. He bumps into people and rubs against walls and furniture.

Movement

He loves fast and spinning movement, and does not seem to get dizzy. He is constantly moving, fidgety, and has daredevil actions.

Body Position

He slumps and slouches and has completely inaccurate actions. He stomps his feet and bumps into things.

Sights

Although he is able to see, but his vision is not sufficiently coordinated so he touches everything to learn about it. He misses visual cues such as facial expressions. He also shows characteristics of the over sensitive child in this area. Like, he becomes over excited when there is too much to look at. He has poor eye contact, over reacts to bright light, and is very inattentive.

Sounds

He ignores voices and has a difficulty following verbal direction.

Smells

He avoids unpleasant odor and smells food, people, and objects constantly.

Tastes

He licks and tastes inedible objects and prefers warm foods.

He falls in the category of the under sensitive child in every category, except for sight. Which is very common. A lot of children show characteristics of multiple categories. Every child is different.

He may seem non compliant or may not follow directions well, because he cannot decode what was said.
