Sensory Processing Disorders

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a condition where the brain has difficulty receiving and responding to sensory information from the environment. Individuals with SPD may be overly sensitive or under-responsive to stimuli such as sounds, textures, lights, tastes, or smells. This can lead to challenges in daily activities, social interactions, and emotional regulation. People with SPD might become easily overwhelmed or may seek out sensory experiences more intensely than others. SPD can affect both children and adults, and strategies like therapy and sensory integration techniques can help improve coping skills and overall functioning.
