Sensory Integration Assessment and Modulation Concepts

This set of flashcards covers key concepts related to sensory integration, sensory processing styles, and modulation as discussed in the 1341 Lab Assessment notes.

Sensory Process Dysfunction

A condition where there is a lack of evidence for a specific diagnosis; often referred to as "Sensory Health".

Low Registration

A sensory processing style where individuals miss or take longer to respond to environmental stimuli.

Sensory Seeking

The tendency to create additional stimuli; individuals have an interest in exploring their environment and may find low-stimulation environments intolerable.

Sensory Sensitivity

A sensory processing style characterized by readiness to respond to stimuli, leading to distractibility and discomfort.

Sensation Avoiding

The tendency to feel overwhelmed by sensory stimuli, leading individuals to engage in rituals or strict routines to manage their environment.

Modulation

The process of balancing one's arousal level; crucial for effective learning and self-regulation.

Proprioception

The body's ability to perceive its own position and movement; plays a role in managing arousal levels with activities like squeezing or using weighted objects.

Self-Modulating

The ability to adjust one's sensory responses and arousal levels effectively.

Arousal Level

The state of being physiologically alert or ready; essential for learning.

Meyer-Briggs

A personality assessment tool that may relate to sensory processing styles.
