Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a condition in which the brain has difficulty receiving and responding appropriately to information from the senses. Children with SPD may be overly sensitive or under-responsive to stimuli such as sound, touch, light, taste, or movement.

Some children may feel uncomfortable with loud noises, bright lights, or certain textures, while others may seek excessive sensory input, such as constant movement, touching objects, or making sounds. These sensory challenges can affect their daily activities, behavior, learning, and social interactions.

Early identification and intervention play a crucial role in managing SPD. Through therapies such as Occupational Therapy and structured sensory activities, children can gradually improve their ability to process sensory information. Individualized strategies and supportive environments help children become more comfortable, confident, and independent in their daily lives.
