Four Degrees of Sensory Problems



Human sensory includes visual, auditory or tactile. In the brain-injured child there are four degrees of sensory problems. These were:

1.The total absence of visual, auditory or tactile intake (blindness,deafness, insensateness). These were disastrous to the brain-injured child if permitted to continue.

2. Too little visual, auditory or tactile intake (hard of seeing, hard of hearing, hard of feeling).These were overwhelming handicaps to the brain-injured child if they were left unhandled.

3. Too much visual, auditory or tactile intake (oversensitive reception of such stimuli). This was equally overwhelming.

4.Chaotic visual, auditory and tactile intake (receiving distorted visual, auditory or tactile information as, for example, the visual information received by the child with strabismus). This could likewise be discouraging, disconcerting or frightening.
