Sensory processing difficulties affect how a child interprets, organises and responds to the information they receive through their eight senses. In more severe cases, such difficulties can significantly affect participation in activities of daily life. There is no single set of symptoms. Sensory processing difficulties is used as an umbrella term for a variety of neurological, sensory-based disorders including dyspraxia. A common characteristic of children with high learning potential (HLP) is a heightened sensory perceptiveness.This fact sheet discusses the symptoms of sensory processing difficulties and outlines pathways to diagnosis and support for parents, carers or teachers of children with sensory processing difficulties and high learning potential. -
Gifted children and adults are often misunderstood. Their excitement is viewed as excessive, their high energy as hyperactivity, their persistence as nagging, their imagination as not paying attention, their passion as being disruptive, their strong emotions and sensitivity as immaturity, and their creativity and self-directedness as oppositional. This book describes these overexcitabilities, as well as strategies for dealing with children and adults who experience them and offering practical methods for nurturing sensitivity, intensity, perfectionism and more.

Extraversion is one of the “Big 5” broad personality traits that many psychologists agree on and have been supported through research. Each of the five personality traits represents a range between two extremes, therefore Extraversion represents a continuum between extreme introversion to extreme extraversion. Whilst personality traits can change through life and are contextual, it has been noted that a higher proportion of high learning potential people have traits of introversion than do the general population. This advice sheet is an introductory guide for parents of high learning potential children who show traits of introversion and it will help them to understand what introversion is and how to work with it.
