HypersensitivityHypersensitivity is the result of the central nervous system becoming "over" stimulated when presented with sensory input. For example, a child who is hypersensitive to sound may become easily distracted, irritable, or hyperactive when in a situation where the auditory input is overwhelming. Many people are sensitive to sounds (or other sensory inputs) that the majority of people are not even aware of. For example, the flickering of flourescent lights can cause sensory overload in many people.Comments10/4/2006 11:50:58 AMPatreece, School Counselor said: I find that by turning off the overhead florescent light in classes and putting on a softer light, helps students to calm down. Also helps those that are going through panick attacks, anger issues, or overly hyper.
