If a child exhibits these situations, they may have sensory integration disorder!
We all know that sensory integration is very important for children's physical and mental development, so we send them for sensory integration training when they are very young. However, there are still some parents who do not recognize the importance of sensory integration. When their children encounter a series of problems, they feel helpless and do not understand what is wrong with their child or why they have suddenly changed. What they do not know is that their child may be experiencing sensory integration dysfunction!

We all know that sensory integration is important for children's physical and mental development, so we send them for sensory integration training when they are very young. However, some parents do not recognize the importance of sensory integration and feel helpless when their children exhibit a series of problems, not knowing what is wrong with them or why they suddenly changed. What they do not realize is that their child may have sensory integration dysfunction!
Firstly, sensory integration dysfunction is not a true medical condition. Children with sensory integration dysfunction generally have normal intelligence; it is just that the coordination between different parts of their brain and body is impaired, preventing many of their excellent qualities from being expressed. Usually, children can easily correct sensory integration dysfunction through training before the age of 12, but once they surpass this age, it becomes fixed and cannot be changed. This is why some children are very smart when they are young but become average as they grow up.
