Sensory Processing Disorder
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a condition often linked to neurodevelopmental disabilities, where the brain struggles to interpret and respond to sensory information from the environment. Individuals with SPD may be overly sensitive or under-responsive to stimuli like sounds, lights, textures, or tastes. This can lead to challenges in daily activities, social interactions, and emotional regulation. For example, a person might feel overwhelmed by loud noises or be uninterested in certain textures, making it difficult to engage with their surroundings. Effective therapy and interventions can help individuals learn to manage their sensory experiences more effectively.

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a condition where the brain has difficulty receiving and responding to sensory information from the environment. This can affect one or more senses, such as touch, sound, taste, or visual input. Individuals with SPD may be overly sensitive (hypersensitivity) or under-responsive (hyposensitivity) to sensory stimuli, leading to challenges in daily activities, social interactions, and emotional regulation. SPD can occur in children and adults and is often associated with other conditions like autism or ADHD. Treatment may involve therapy to help individuals better manage sensory experiences and improve their quality of life.
