Hi Cindy,
Yes, I have seen some great benefits of massage therapy for children who have unique sensory needs.
Some children are sensitive to certain sensations such as sounds, lights, smells. These children may respond well to intense deep pressure to the skin and resistance to the muscles. These tactile inputs are calming for the system.
So in short a deep, slow massage might be appropriate for these children.
