motor dysfunction such as protruding tongue.
Atlantoaxial instability is present in some individuals with DS and
can cause spinal cord compression and cranial external instability.
◉sensory oversensitivity. Answer: Responses to stimuli are more
intense, or have a longer duration than typically expected and may
occur in only one or among multiple sensory modalities.
Activation of flight or fight responses (experienced in stressful
situations).
Demonstrate: inflexibility, hypervigilance, and tend to be difficult to
console when they are in "Over-responsiveness" mode.
Often seen in children with Autism, fragile X syndrome, ADHD, and
mood disorders.
◉Sensory Under-Responsivity (SUR). Answer: Feed forward
mechanism of the CNS.
Lack a central predictive set of actions in given situations.
Lack of ability to detect incoming sensory information which is often
misinterpreted as the child having "lazy" tendencies and being
unmotivated.
"Easy baby" as there are fewer demands on the caregiver. SAME
CHILD shows less interest in active exploration of the environment.
LACK natural exploratory sensory behavior, and may manifest as
