| Potential signs | Potential impact | Strategies to assist with learning |
|---|---|---|
| Lack of reaction to painful experiences | Difficulty developing fine motor skills, self-help skills and play | The messy and explorative play strategies above can be appropriate |
| Difficulty manipulating tools and toys | Children or young people may also struggle with grading pressure and can be over forceful at times or appear to have weak muscles. They may get tired more quickly during writing tasks | In addition, using vibration equipment and proprioceptive strategies can assist in improving tactile discrimination |
| Feely boards can be useful |
