Article Evaluation - Sensory Dysfunction Disorder

- First two introductory paragraphs are difficult to follow and don't flow well.

- Very limited information on sections pertaining to specific categories of systems.

- editing mistakes such as "- Authored an article, Sensory Dysfunction in Children - Researched information for article through internet and medical booksde"/> "

- article talks about specific books instead of peer reviewed articles. Relies on books, by one author, heavily to write this article.

Sensory dysfunction disorder is a reported neurological disorder of information processing, characterized by difficulty in understanding and responding appropriately to sensory inputs. Sensory dysfunction disorder is not recognized by the American Medical Association. "Sensory processing (SP) difficulties have been reported in as many as 95% of children with autism, however, empirical research examining the existence of specific patterns of SP difficulties within this population is scarce."

The brain receives messages from the body's sensory systems, which informs the brain of what is going on around and to a person's body. If one or more of these systems become overstimulated, it may result in what is known as Sensory Dysfunction Disorder. An example of a response to overstimulation is expressed by A. Jean Ayres, in Sensory Integration and the Child: Understanding Hidden Sensory Challenges. She writes, "When the flow of sensations is disorganized, life can be like a rush-hour traffic jam” (p. 289). The following sensory systems are broken down into individual categories to better understand the impact a sensitivity can have on an individual.
