Sensory Seeking and Sensory Avoiding
Does your child play too rough, have a high pain tolerance or lack an understanding of personal space? Does he startle easy, avoid touch, or fuss about tags in clothing? If either one of these sound like your child, he may struggle with sensory processing issues.

- When kids underreact to sensory input, they may seek out more input.
- When kids overreact, they become overwhelmed and may avoid the input.”
