sensory integration disorder

Sensory integration disorder (SID) is a condition where the brain has difficulty organizing and responding appropriately to sensory information from the environment, such as sights, sounds, textures, and movement. This can lead to challenges in processing or interpreting these signals, causing discomfort or behaviors like overreacting, underreacting, or seeking excessive sensory input. It is often seen in children but can affect adults as well. SID can impact daily activities, learning, and social interactions. Treatment typically involves occupational therapy aimed at helping the brain better process sensory information, improving overall functioning and comfort.
