She also can be overaroused at night. SI Dysfunction often coexist with allergies. Katie is allergic to penicillin. There are many possible causes for SI dysfunction and Katie has each one of these from what we understand. As I said previously, young children respond well to early intervention- the central nervous system is still flexible and can change or be changed.
Treatment helps the child process all the senses so they can work together.
The senses are a combination of the near senses and the far senses. Sensory Integration is the neurological process of organizing the information we get from our bodies and from the world around us for use in daily life. SI Dysfunction is the brain s inability to process sensations efficiently. For example she has been hyposensitive and not responded to our dog Pebbles growl and subsequently was bitten. Katie is often very hypersenstive when it comes to touch as she is now constantly seeking it.
