1.What is sensory integration disorder in children? Some children’s attention is particularly difficult to concentrate, poor memory, doing things, poor academic performance, homework procrastination, naughty, hyperactive and capricious, impulsive behavior, risk-taking, but poor fine motor skills, such as tying shoelaces and button difficulties, speech stuttering, not fluent, words do not mean; and some are easy to nervousness, timidity, withdrawal, paranoia, crying, do not get along with the group, eating picky or binge eating. In the past, some people diagnosed these problems as ADHD, give the child medication, injections, etc., but little effect, but also may cause children to develop poorly; there are parents who believe that the child is a character problem, intentionally disobedient, the child and beat and scolding, resulting in physical and mental trauma to the child. In 1970, the American psychologist Iris first found in 3-13 years old children, 10% -30% of the children appeared in the above syndrome, and prone to learning difficulties, the study found that it is not a problem of intellectual development or educational problems, but the children’s brain function is not coordinated, and the brain integration function is not perfect and not sound related to the need for psychological training to be corrected. Normally, the human cerebral cortex will summarize and analyze the information it receives, past memories, experiences, and emotions before making an appropriate response, and this process is the integrative function. This process is called integration. The soundness of the integration function depends on the coordination of the functions of the entire cerebral cortex. In normal people, the integrative function is normal when they are awake, but in some children, due to the different degree of excitement in various parts of the cerebral cortex, some regions or cell nuclei are relatively active, which causes the coordination of the cerebral cortex to deteriorate, and the integrative function becomes disorganized, thus leading to the emergence of the symptoms mentioned above. With the increase in the number of only children, the incidence of sensory integration disorders in children is on the rise year by year. 2.What are the symptoms of sensory integration disorder in children? ①Vestibular balance dysfunction: manifested as hyperactivity, easy to fall down, easy to dizzy, inattentive, inattentive in class, love to do small movements, mischievous and capricious, excited and active, easy to violate the classroom discipline, easy to conflict with others, love to be picky, it is difficult to have fun with other people, and it is also difficult to share toys and food with other people, and it is not possible to consider other people’s needs. Some children may also have delayed language development, poor speech and difficulty in expressing their language. ② poor visual sense: the performance is despite the ability to watch cartoons for a long time, play with electric toys, but can not read fluently, often skipping or omission of reading or more words or less words; writing the radicals reversed, or even do not know the words, learned to forget, can not do the calculations, often copying the wrong questions copying the wrong questions, and so on. Poor sense of hearing: it is manifested as not listening to others’ words, losing things, often forgetting what the teacher said and the homework, etc. Excessive sensitivity or retardation of the sense of touch: fear of unfamiliar environments, sucking hands, biting nails, crying, playing with genitals, excessive attachment to parents, easy to produce separation anxiety, or excessive nervousness, love to mess with other people, partiality or overeating, short-tempered. ⑤ Excessive pain sensitivity or excessive retardation: risk-taking behavior, self-injury and self-mutilation, inability to learn lessons. Alternatively, they may be less active, withdrawn, out of touch, reticent, lacking curiosity, and lacking in exploratory behavior. (6) Proprioceptive disorders: poor sense of direction, easy to get lost, easy to wander off, can’t play hide-and-seek, easy to fall down with eyes closed, no standing posture, no sitting posture, easy to hunch back, myopia, excessive fear of the dark. (7) Poor motor coordination: poor motor coordination, easy to fall down when walking, can’t roll, ride a bike, jump rope and shoot a ball like their children. (8) Poor fine motor skills: they can’t tie shoelaces, buckle buttons, use chopsticks, have clumsy hands and feet, and have poor manual skills. These problems will undoubtedly cause children’s learning and interaction barriers, although such children have a normal or abnormal IQ, but due to poor brain coordination affects the attention and memory, affecting verbal expression, affecting interpersonal communication, thus directly affecting the children’s learning, life, movement, but also affects interpersonal relationships, preventing normal growth and development. 3.What are the causes of children’s sensory integration disorder? The biggest difference between the human brain and other animals is that there is a phenomenon of juvenile continuation of human brain development, only 23% of the human brain is developed at birth, the remaining 77% in the development of later life, this huge plasticity for human adaptation to the environment provides a very wide world, of course, the brain’s development itself needs external stimulation to guide the source, but today’s Chinese families are mostly only children, not only fewer partners, and most of the parents have no control over their children. Most parents are overprotective of the jewel in the palm of their hand, and children’s behaviors of touching, crawling, rolling, hitting, jumping, etc. have been artificially destroyed in the natural course of development. Children who do not crawl when they should crawl may later develop poor coordination, poor sense of balance, not allowed to cry when they should cry, lack of exercise of the oral muscles, weak cardiorespiratory function, and even poor language expression. The main reasons for sensory integration disorders in only children are: lack of exercise, lack of games, and lack of nature. Of course, the first abortion, pregnancy with drugs or emotional state of stress, premature birth, cesarean section, etc. is also the main cause of children’s sensory integration disorder. 4.What are the consequences of sensory integration disorder in children? These children with the problem may not show it in their early years, but by school age, they will show one kind of disorder or another in their learning ability and character. Compared with other normal children, they may appear to be very clumsy in their learning ability, sensitive or socially withdrawn in interpersonal relationships, and psychologically poor, causing great worry to parents and teachers. Parents and teachers should find these behavioral problems in children early and timely treatment and training, otherwise, it will affect the development of the child’s intellectual development and learning ability development, resulting in poor learning foundation, delayed psychological development and interpersonal relationship disorders, and then appear anorexia, truancy, lying and other behavioral problems. 5.How to train children’s sensory integration? What is the effect? Children’s sensory integration training first measure and diagnose the child’s sensory integration disorder and intellectual development level, and then formulate the training course, through some specially developed instruments, in the form of games for children to participate in, the child’s academic performance, logical reasoning ability, memory, motor coordination, interpersonal relationships, diet and sleep, emotions, etc. will be improved and improved, which, the child’s intelligence can be improved to varying degrees. can be improved to different degrees. The United States, European countries, Japan, Taiwan and other developed countries and regions from the 70’s rise in children’s sensory integration training, has developed into every elementary school has a sensory integration training room, and achieved very good results. In recent years, the domestic has also introduced, developed this training theory and technology, in clinical practice has also achieved significant therapeutic effects. Clinical practice shows that children who participate in the training have different degrees of improvement, of which 85% of the trained children have received significant results. When combined with medication, the efficacy can reach more than 95%. Children’s sensory integration training is suitable for children aged 3-13 with learning difficulties or behavioral problems.
