Children may try to cope or compensate when sensory skills are difficult or impossible for them to perform. They cannot regulate sensory input or sensory activity levels due to sensory overwhelm and the accompanying emotional frustration. Many behavior problems result because sensory messages are not processed and integrated accurately and efficiently. Sensory skills are learned, and when the brain reorganizes to process and integrate sensory messages more efficiently and accurately, sensory arousal in the environment produces more natural behavioral responses.

"Our daughter’s most significant changes had occurred in her temperament and ability to self-regulate. She continues to be well adjusted in the areas of socialization and sharing which the Sensory Learning Program greatly contributed to." --T.S., CO
