Sensory Processing Disorder Facts
- Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) refers to the way the nervous system receives and processes messages from our surroundings. Messages from the senses go into the brain but do not get organized into appropriate responses.
- Sensory Processing Disorder can affect people in only one sense–for example, just touch–or in multiple senses (visual, auditory, gustatory, proprioceptive or vestibular). One person with SPD may over-respond to touch sensation and find clothing, physical contact, other tactile sensory input to be unbearable. While another person might under-respond and show little or no reaction to stimulation, even pain or extreme hot and cold.
“Quote from a teacher or staff member or therapist about CP in general. How kids with CP are kids first, who just need a little boost to move around, communicate and laugh and play with friends.”
