It
has been well documented that there
is now an epidemic increase in the
neurological phenomenon known as “Autistic Spectrum Disorders”. Since
the early 1970’s, there has been
a jump of more than 15% in the number
of children diagnosed with such disorders.
What
is a “Sensory
Integration Disorder”?
“Sensory Integration Disorder” was a term first coined by occupational
and physical therapists who treated large numbers
of children with “Autism”.
It describes an inability to integrate
or coordinate the senses of perception
and balance in a
concerted effort.
Almost all disorders in
this category are related to abnormal
or fluctuant function of three primary
senses:
The musculo skeletal system (touch
and feel)
The eyes (visual system)
The inner ear (vestibular system)
Normal
and stable function of these primary
senses are required for the correct
function of the brain. Abnormal
function of these systems will lead to
a slowing of all cognitive and reflex
functions and cause fluctuations of behavior,
mood and activity level.
