For people with disabilities, there may be sensory integrative dysfunction, a sort of “traffic jam” in the brain where certain parts do not get the sensory information that a person needs to function properly.
BEFORE
- Very active and difficult to calm her down;
- Poor visual-spatial, therefore often put herself in a wrong position and had poor adjustment with spaces;
- Poor sense of danger – jumped down from moving swings without notice;
- Problem with modulation – got excited very easily;
- Very disorganized and always didn’t know what she had to do next;
- No patience and was rushing all the time;
- Always overlooked the details;
- Poor body sense and under sensitive to pain;
- Poor concept of colors and shapes;
- Blurred and couldn’t understand verbal instructions;
- Weak bilateral coordination – either hit ball with both hands or right hand but couldn’t hit with alternate hand.
AFTER
- Calm and steady, therefore able to walk properly, put down her bag and sit down to wait for time/mother;
- More organized – knows what she has to do although still making mistakes;
- Would stay still on swings and less worried about her safety;
- Not rushing anymore and will wait for her turn;
- Better in visual-spatial and has better adjustment when crossing the obstacles;
- More aware of her body and feels pain more reasonably;
- Starts to understand simple verbal instructions e.g. ‘turn’, ‘take out’, ‘put here’ etc…
- Starts to hit ball with alternate hand.
