Description: Does your child hate to walk barefoot, even in the house; or can't stand his feet touched by someone? Won't touch anything sticky, slimy, or dirty with their hands? The child must have the label tags cut out of every piece of clothing and very concerned about the "feel" of fabric? These questions all relate to the topic of tactile defensiveness.
