Emotional and behavioral changes:

•Fearful responses

•Avoidance

•Irritability

•Anxiety

•Angry outbursts

•Aggression

•Agitation

Cognitive changes:

•Increased confusion

•Decreased orientation (time, place, self, etc.)

•Decreased attention span (more than typical)

Note: when any of these signs or symptoms appear it is important to stop using the particular sensory strategy until it is clear whether or not it is a contributor to the problem or if something else may be a factor. It is recommended that medical attention and guidance be sought in such a situation. This safety information must be kept in mind when introducing or using any of the sensory strategies explored in this book; medical and rehabilitation professionals involved in the care of the client should be informed of any additional safety considerations; and safety concerns should be noted in the client’s medical record.
