In recent years, many young parents may hear the term sensory disorder, especially some early education institutions and children's fitness institutions are always advertising "preventing sensory disorder" and "treating sensory disorder" to attract customers. At present, parents mainly hold two views on sensory integration disorder: first, supporters believe that sensory integration disorder exists and is very important for children's growth, and they are willing to spend money and time with their children to participate in sensory integration training; Second, the opposition believes that the so-called "sensory imbalance" sells parents' anxiety. How can there be so many children with problems? There is absolutely no need to spend this money and time. Before discussing these viewpoints, we need to know what "sensory imbalance" is.

Sensory integration is the function of the brain, and sensory integration disorder is a kind of brain dysfunction, which can also be called learning disability. At present, the growth and development departments of many large hospitals will give suggestions on the treatment scheme of sensory integration training, so the term sensory integration disorder is definitely not groundless, which shows that sensory integration disorder has indeed attracted public attention and exists in the medical field. The official statement may still be confusing, so how will the sensory imbalance be mainly reflected? It may have the following symptoms:

First, vestibular balance dysfunction: manifested as fidgeting, easy to fall when walking, inattention, inattention in class, love to make small moves, easy to violate classroom discipline, easy to conflict with others, naughty and willful, picky, difficult to share fun with others, difficult to share toys and food with others, unable to consider the needs of others, and may also appear language development retardation, language expression difficulties, and late speech.

Second, the visual sense is poor: the performance is that you can't read fluently, often skip or miss reading, and there are many words and few words. The radicals of writing are reversed, even illiterate. Learn to forget, can't do calculations, and often copy wrong questions and miss them.

Third, the sense of touch is too sensitive: it is manifested as nervousness, loneliness, fear of unfamiliar environment, biting nails and crying, playing with genitals, being too attached to parents, being prone to separation anxiety, being too nervous and provoking others, being partial to food or overeating, and being grumpy.

Fourth, poor hearing: it is manifested in listening to others but not listening, forgetting things, and often forgetting what the teacher said and the homework assigned.

Fifth, ontological imbalance: lack of self-confidence, passive retreat, clumsy hands and feet, poor language ability.

Poor coordination: poor balance. It is easy to fall when walking, and there are often falls. You can't roll, jump rope and beat like other children. Poor hands-on ability and fine movements.

According to the above statement, many parents may think that their children have been cheated. For example, if they are not attentive in class, only two or three out of ten children may be absolutely attentive. This is also the reason why many parents don't believe in sensory integration disorder. According to the official statement, every child has a certain degree of sensory integration problems. How is that possible? Isn't that what you want us to spend money on raising children?

In fact, everyone has a certain degree of sensory imbalance. Take myself as an example. I grew up with underdeveloped motor cells, poor balance and poor hands-on ability. I can't persist in doing things for a long time and grow up healthily and happily ... If there is a dangerous area of sensory imbalance, how alert should I be?

I think if children don't have big sensory problems, such as language retardation, social barriers, and particularly low attention ... these affect children's growth and development and social skills with peers, in fact, slight sensory imbalance can be completely ignored, and parents can also help their children improve through some sensory games at home.

If children have the serious growth and development problems I mentioned above, I suggest that parents must attach great importance to them and take them to professional institutions for intervention training. The word "professional" is emphasized because there are many such institutions in the market, and many even mislead parents with the slogan of treating language barriers and autism. Formal sensory training bases can help children improve their abilities through some teaching AIDS, but these problems cannot be cured in a short time. But what is certain is that continuous sensory training can improve children's learning ability, fear of difficulties, inattention and many other common diseases. At present, the training fee for sensory training in the market is still relatively expensive, so parents must choose institutions with long teaching time and rich experience when choosing. The following are some common sensory training equipment:

Special reminder: Under normal circumstances, children can easily correct sensory disorders through training before 12 years old. Once they pass the age of 12, they are stereotyped and cannot be changed.

I am writing this article in the hope that families in problem children who have sensory impairment or even grow up can pay attention to their children's problems as soon as possible. I have seen too many parents' consciousness and concept problems delay the best treatment date. If family conditions permit, I will start to intervene and treat my children as soon as possible.
