Sensory Processing

Games for children who... 

Sensory processing activities for children with specific issues.

Your child is very active

Children who are very active often have problems in sensory processing. They often react without control on some sensory stimuli, like sounds or being touched.

Your child is anxious

Anxious children can also have problems in sensory processing. They react without control to some sensory stimuli.

Your child is clumsy or DCD was diagnosed

If your child is clumsy or DCD (Developmental Coordination Disorder) was diagnosed there is a big chance that he does not feel his body and his own movements as well as he should.

Your child has an allergy

Children who suffer from allergies can also have problems processing sensory stimuli. They are often not only troubled by certain nutritious substances, household dust or the hair of a cat, but also by certain sensory stimuli. Games intended on improving sensory processing will also enhance your child's self-confidence and his ability to defend himself.

Your child is highly sensitive.

Children who are highly sensitive feel extremely much and are often troubled by things that other children pay no attention to at all. They are bothered by certain sounds or dislike being touched or moved.

Your child was diagnosed with ADHD

Children who suffer from ADHD, in other words who are hyperactive and have problems staying focused often have additional problems in sensory processing.

Your child was diagnosed with autism, PDD-NOS or Asperger Syndrome

If your child was diagnosed with autism, PDD-NOS or Asperger Syndrome, or suspected of having any of these, it can be difficult for your child to process the information from sensory stimuli.

Your child has Down Syndrome

Children with Down Syndrome often suffer from sensory processing disorder as well. Because their muscle tone is poor, they do not 'feel' their body properly. They do not stand firmly on the ground, they are clumsy sometimes and may dislike being touched. Being moved, for example on a swing, scares them easily.

Your child has a motor handicap

Children with motor handicap or delay can have sensory processing disorder as well. They are less able to move correctly and therefore they are less able to react to different sensory stimuli.

Your child has a mental handicap

For children with a mental handicap or a developmental delay it is difficult to understand the world. They are overwhelmed by information that they cannot respond to very well. As a result they may become aggressive, hyperactive or the reverse, anxious, withdrawn and stop reacting altogether. In general they need more time to react.
