Raising A Sensory Smart Child

“Sensory integration dysfunction, also known as sensory processing disorder, affects all kinds of children-from those with developmental delays, attention problems, or autism spectrum disorders, to those without any other issues. Children with sensory processing issues can be slow to move from individual, parallel play (playing next to another child instead of with another child) involving cause-and-effect toys to cooperative, imaginative play with others. This has to do with wiring in the brain.
