Resistance Levels | Sensory Seeking

Resistance levels refer to how an individual's nervous system responds to sensory input. Some people require intense stimulation to register it (low registration or sensory avoiding), while others are easily overwhelmed by typical levels (sensory seeking or sensory sensitivity). Understanding these differences is crucial for creating supportive environments, whether in educational, therapeutic, or home settings. This concept helps explain why certain activities or environments might be calming for one person and agitating for another, guiding the selection of appropriate sensory tools and strategies.
