What is hyposensitivity?

Hyposensitivity

Hyposensitivity is when the central nervous system does not register enough input from the senses (e.g., sight, sound, touch, smell, taste). Children who are hyposensitive to kinesthetic movement, for example, tend to slump against walls for support, run into other children, wrestle and fall a lot, or appear hyperactive. This extra movement gives them the craved sensory input that most people pick up through ordinary daily activities.
