Children with LD or autism can either be hypersensitive or hyposensitive to stimuli (visual, audio, etc.) Conditions such as Autism often means that the individual needs to reach his or her threshold of stimulation in order to become balanced and function. Catering to this need to extra stimuli would often come from occupational therapy or massage therapy provided by qualified Special Education practitioners and yes, sometimes, massage therapists. The act of pressing, stroking, squeezing, and tapping derived from body massage techniques have been observed to help children with special conditions in reaching a more balanced and calm level in order for them to function in school, at home, and even the community.
