✦ Synopsis

Sensory defensiveness syndrome includes sensory defensiveness and the associated behavioural difficulties that can occur when a child or adult perceives non‐threatening sensory input as potentially harmful. This paper presents a paediatric case study where sensory defensiveness syndrome was diagnosed and treated. The effectiveness of the sensory summation technique was confirmed. Effective behavioural strategies are explained and differential diagnosis between sensory defensiveness syndrome and other disorders such as autism spectrum disorders is emphasized. Changes to Willbarger and Wilbarger’s three levels of severity of sensory defensiveness are suggested to aid clarity in diagnosis and as a guide for future research.

## Abstract The presence of alien hand syndrome (AHS) is suggestive of the diagnosis of corticobasal degeneration when it develops in a progressive way. Sensory AHS (sAHS) should be distinguished from the motor form described more commonly. The physiopathology of sAHS remains unclear. The aim of th
