Such interpretations are reductive and overlook the underlying neurodevelopmental mechanisms. This paper presents a clinical–sensory model, asserting that instruction-following and communication are functions of sensory processing, concept formation, and verbal–sensory integration. A distinction is made between quantitative (input-related) and qualitative (meaning-related) sensory domains. It is argued that current intervention models disproportionately target quantitative aspects while neglecting qualitative deficits, resulting in limited functional outcomes. A paradigm shift tow...

Why Children (Especially with Autism) Do Not Follow Instructions: A Clinical-Sensory Model Beyond Behavioral Interpretation Dr Santosh Kondekar Prof Pediatrics TN Medical college Developmental Neuropediatrician, Mumbai, India 🌐 www.autismdoctor.in Abstract Failure to follow instructions in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is frequently interpreted as behavioral non-compliance. However, such interpretations overlook underlying neurodevelopmental mechanisms. This paper proposes a clinical-sensory model, distinguishing quantitative (input-related) and qualitative (meaning-related) components of sensory development. It highlights the role of verbal–sensory disconnect, concept formation deficits, and sensory regulation in instruction-following. The model integrates clinical observations with existing frameworks in sensory integration and predictive processing, and proposes a shift from compliance-based to neurodevelopmentally informed intervention.
