Large sunglasses and ear caps

Shared by Raras on 2014-02-05 21:00

About the solution

Paula realized that her son had a great sensitivity to the sun and the noise, which generated its aggressive behavior, including self-harm.
She developed simple techniques such as the use of large sunglasses, covering his eyes in full and plugs the ears. She also developed games to avoid places with too much noise, such as competitions to shop at the grocery store in a few minutes, after realizing that the child's tolerance to noise is short.
