A Mother asked:
"What kind of modifications should I ask my son's school to make for his sensory dysfunction? We have just found out about our 6 year old's Sensory Integration Dysfunction. Specificallyhe has Hypersensitive Hearing, everything is loud and at the same volume, he can't focus or filter out so sometimes the teacher gets frustrated. Sometimes it is too loud or busy for him to concentrate on quiet activities (reading, testing etc). And sometimes he is so overstimulated she said he "acts hyper." Because we are pretty quiet at home, I don't have the same problems she does at school. What kinds of things can she modify at school so eveyone is happy?"

First,I'm so proud of you for discovering your Son's Sensory issue so early. Now things can only get better! As I'm sure you know, SID allows that the nerve input is received correctly but perceived incorrectly. So what is too loud for him may not be for others. Some suggestions might be, the teacher should make sure she is facing him when speaking to him (she should not yell "Look at me" as this will surely embarrass him). Headphones or ear plugs of cotton are a good idea should he CHOSE to use them to help filter noises during tests. If possible he should not be seated near a fan or air conditioner. Hope this helps! And give him a hug for me.
