Children with autism or LD can either be hypersensitive or hyposensitive to stimuli (visual, audio, etc.). For example, Autism often means that the individual needs to reach their stimulation threshold to become functional and balanced. Catering to this need for additional stimuli is often provided by an occupational therapist or massage therapist that is qualified as a Special Education practitioner. The act of stroking, tapping, squeezing, and pressing derived from medical massage techniques have been shown to help children with special needs reach the calm and balance they need to function at home, school, and in the community.
