Children learn from experience and each experience gives them new meaning and with it new knowledge. This learning happens when information from our environment is sent to our brain through our senses and understood. Not just the five sense we are all familiar with (sight, sound, smell, touch and taste) but also the sense of body position, movement and force.

Sensory processing refers to how our brain understands all this information and uses them together to develop good posture, concentration and organization, fine discrimination, communication, speech, logical reasoning, self control, academic learning ability etc. This develops skills of exploration, participation and interaction in a child at home and school.

Sensory Processing Disorder refers to any disruption in this flow of information. Research by the SPD Foundation indicates that 1 in every 20 children experiences symptoms of SPD that are significant enough to affect their ability to participate fully in everyday life. Without proper intervention, these children have significant difficulty with skills of everyday life and developing positive social relationships.
