Sensitive to light and sound

[kallik]

My son is sensitive somewhat to both light and sound. His zinc levels tested okay, so I don't know if I should get him tested for pyroluria. What have others done to help their child who is sensitive to lights and sounds? Thanks.

kallik,

 

Do you know what your sons zinc level (the actural number) was?

this could be what is known as sensory integration dysfunction, which many kids with neuro issues can have

 

here is more info on it

my son had a 3 month course of occupational therapy spcific to the techniques ms Kranowitz discusses in the Out Of Sync Child book, and it was very helpful to him, also teaching us self help methods to reduce this hypersensitivity. For him, light, sound, tactile and smell and were on a very hypersensitive scale

 

not sure if this is what is causing the light and sound sensitivity for your child but may be worth checking into
