(Sensory Processing Disorder) Challenges to Sensory Integration result from a “short circuit” somewhere along the electrical system described above, and the action and or behavior is what is observed. What’s tricky is that the “short circuit” often moves around and different behaviors may be observed within a day or from day to day.
