=== Sensory Integration Dysfunction and Other Disorders ===
A growing number of experts, including Stanley Greenspan, M.D., Ph.D., and autism specialist Ricki Robinson, M.D., believe that sensory related disorders are frequently misdiagnosed as Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, as well as emotional problems, aggressiveness and speech-related disorders such as [[Apraxia]]. Sensory processing, they argue, is foundational, like the roots of a tree, and give rise to a myriad of behaviors and symptoms such as hyperactivity and speech delay. For example, a child with an under-responsive vestibular system may need extra input to his "motion sensor" in order to achieve a state of quiet alertness. To get this input, the child might fidget or run around, appearing ostensibly to be hyperactive, when in fact, he suffers from a sensory related disorder.
