Sensory modulation disorder involves difficulty regulating behavioral responses relative to sensory input, causing dysregulation in stimulating environments.

Question 4

According to Ayres Sensory Integration theory, the vestibular system's primary contribution to development includes which of the following?

Accepted Answer

Ocular motor control, postural tone, and bilateral coordination

Answer
