This presentation, part of a sensory integration series, focuses on sensory reactivity, detailing how individuals differently respond to sensory stimuli and the challenges they present. She emphasizes the importance of self-regulation in managing these responses and outlines various types of sensory reactivity, including overreactivity and underreactivity, and their impacts. The presentation advocates for comprehensive assessments to understand an individual's sensory experiences better and suggests interventions like lifestyle changes, routine adjustments, and environmental modifications to support those with sensory reactivity. The Q&A session further explores these concepts, addressing sensory integration therapy's goals and the effects of external factors like food allergies on sensory processing.
