What Is Sensory Processing Disorder?

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) affects how a child’s nervous system processes and responds to sensory information from their environment. This includes anything they can feel with their senses, such as flavor, texture, sound volume, temperature, and much more. SPD affects children in various ways, but one common aspect of this condition is that it can lead to challenges in daily life. 

Children with SPD may experience overstimulation, where they are extremely sensitive to sensory information; or they may underreact to sensory information and even seek out more extreme sensations. This can make it difficult for them to take part in daily activities and interact with their surroundings effectively.

What Is Sensory Integration?

Sensory integration is an evidence-based approach that aims to help children with sensory processing challenges. A child’s reflexes and their ability to process sensory information is vital for their overall development. Without this ability, children can struggle with fine and gross motor skills, learning, making friends, and so much more. 

Sensory integration is designed to improve a child’s ability to process and respond appropriately to sensory information. Through specialized activities and exercises, our team helps children reach their developmental goals with ease.
