Account
Definition
To account for something means to take it into consideration or include it in your assessment or analysis. In this context, neglecting to account for a child's sensory development means not taking into consideration how their senses may affect their behavior.
Analogy
It's like trying to understand why someone is wearing sunglasses indoors without considering that they might have sensitivity to bright lights. By not accounting for the person's sensitivity, you might misinterpret their behavior as strange or disrespectful.
