Relationship between language impairment and sensory processing disorder
… other neurological disabilities have abnormal sensory responsiveness patterns (Watson et al., 2011). Children with hypo-sensitive sensory profiles were found to have more severe language and attentional problems than those classified as hyper-sensitive or sensory seeking. At present time, …

Domain Modeling and Conceptualization of a Theoretical Model for Sensory Response to Music
Sensory processing abnormalities present as one of the determining features in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The nature of the environmental world is comprised of intertwined, unorganized stimuli. The deficits in the processing of extraneous stimuli in multiple sensory modalities …
