SPEECHGEARS – SENSORY BRISTLE

BOBATH Approach for Sensory Defensiveness & Sensory Integration in ASD, SPD, ADHD.

The Bobath approach, also known as neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT), is a widely used concept in rehabilitating stroke patients with hemiparesis. It was also used in cerebral palsy. The Bobath Approach is equally effective in Sensory Defensiveness & Sensory Integration in ASD, SPD, and ADHD.Sensory Defensiveness is the measure issue in SPD, ADHD & AUTISM. Sensory Defensiveness is a “Flight or fight* response to a stimulus, Children with this condition overreact to sensory input and respond by showing negative emotions or behaviours. Sensory Defensiveness indicates a low neurological threshold-it takes very little for the brain to react to sensory information. For example, a child may be lightly touched while standing in line with peers and may respond by acting out aggressively. Alternatively, the low neural Firing of tactile sense can be addressed with brushing protocol in the Bobath approach, which ultimately helps Sensory Integration.
