Some key take-aways:
1. Heavy work = anything that gives our bodies deep pressure
2. Everyone has different needs and sensitivities
3. Safe spaces, safe items, and reducing input is KEY when your child is overstimulated
4. Get into a routine of providing daily input
5. Seek out a therapist for a skilled, daily program
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD, formerly known as "sensory integration dysfunction") is a condition that exists when sensory information is not organized into appropriate responses. Pioneering occupational therapist and neuroscientist A. Jean Ayres, PhD, likened SPD to a neurological "traffic jam" that prevents certain parts of the brain from receiving the information needed to interpret sensory information correctly. A person with SPD finds it difficult to process and act upon information received through the senses, which creates challenges in performing countless everyday tasks. People with sensory processing disorder may show marked fluctuations and inconsistencies processing information. They may present with unpredictable behavior and have a difficult time changing their responses to fit the demands of a situation. Motor clumsiness, behavioral problems, anxiety, depression, school failure, and other impacts may result if the disorder is not treated effectively.
Human beings are sensory processing machines. We all have brains and central nervous systems and sensory systems. Therefore, we all have sensory needs and preferences. Intervention is recommended when difficulties processing sensory information begin to disrupt engagement in daily occupations and one's ability to participate and function.
