Impulsive and Unsafe Behaviors and Sensory Integration

Why does my child do physically unsafe things so often? A sensory explanation.

Moving Parts Therapy helps kids with Sensory Processing Challenges, specializing in helping kids who have no medical diagnosis.

Does your child struggles with safety awareness?

Difficulties with safety can be due to lack of body awareness.

When we have good body awareness, the vestibular and proprioceptive systems are working well.

The vestibular system provides us with our sense of balance and head position.

The proprioceptive system provides us with a sense of how our body is positioned and a sense of how much pressure we are using. 

When the systems are not working well, we are often impulsive as we crave the input we need to feel “right”. These movements can often be unsafe.

Therapy can help get the right input needed to improve the systems. Often the input needed is the ones that are avoided, so the systems do not improve on their own.
