Forbes posted an article titled, “The Hidden Dangers Of Noise Pollution At Home” which featured Dr. Roseann. Here she discusses the effects of noise pollution for children with sensory sensitivity. Check out this preview of what she had to say:
“‘With the increase in generalized anxiety and disorders such as ADHD and autism, there has been a dramatic increase in children who experience sensory sensitivity.’ This often manifests in tantrums and tears among younger kids, and lack of focus among older ones. ‘Their nerves are stuck on overdrive and sensory experiences such as noise can really produce intense reactions. Add fearful experiences such as school shootings to an already anxious kid’s world, you have even more reactivity’.”
