November 14, 2008, Newsletter Issue #117: Sensory Integration and Self Stimulatory Behavior


1

Tip of the Week


Determining which sensory integration activities should be used depends on the individual's needs. Basically, either the individual's sensory system is hypoactive or hyperactive. The hypoactive system will seek out input while the hyperactive system will seek to block input.

The necessity of replacing self stimulatory behaviors to regulate sensory input is great. Prompting the child to cease the self stims without providing another outlet will only lead to the child's finding another way of addressing this valuable need.

In some cases an autistic individual may turn the behavior inward. This can lead to self stimulatory behaviors like regurgitation and swallowing. This behavior often goes unnoticed and it not redirected and the individual gets his necessary stimulation in the process.
