The Autism Perspective, Summer 2007 – The Proprioceptive System
This is the fourth article in a six part series called “Sensory Tips.” Sensory Tips is designed to help parents and teachers understand how to use a sensory approach to “see” children and interpret their actions. Understanding a child’s sensory processing system can help parents and teachers create homes and classrooms that offer children safe and respectful environments, which are necessary for optimal learning and behaviour. It is also designed to help parents and teachers understand what can often be confusing and disturbing behaviors.
