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.[1] Sensory dysfunction disorder is not recognized by the American Medical Association.[2] "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."[3]

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.[1] 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).[4] The following sensory systems are broken down into individual categories to better understand the impact a sensitivity can have on an individual.[2]
