   Her book Sensory Integration and the Child, first published in the 1970s, was a means of helping families, therapists, and educators of children with sensory-processing difficulties and sensory processing disorders to better organize and improve self-regulation of body and environmental sensory inputs. [1] [2]

4. Hyposensitivity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyposensitivity
