Familial dysautonomia, a relatively rare hereditary condition, consists of a baffling array of nervous system malfunctions that seriously disturb the lives of the young victims and their families. Since several of the deficits can be identified as sensory-integrative and as such have been successfully treated in other contexts, it is suggested that sensory integration therapy may benefit these children. Results of a ten-month-old Isralei child appear to support this conjecture and suggest further exploration of the sensory integration approach in evaluation and treatment of dysautonomia and related conditions.
家族性自主神经功能异常是一种相对罕见的遗传性疾病，由一系列令人困惑的神经系统功能障碍组成，这些障碍严重影响了年轻患者及其家庭的生活。由于其中一些缺陷可被确定为感觉统合问题，并且在其他情况下已得到成功治疗，因此有人提出感觉统合疗法可能对这些儿童有益。一名10个月大的以色列儿童的治疗结果似乎支持了这一推测，并建议在评估和治疗自主神经功能异常及相关病症时进一步探索感觉统合方法。
