Sensory processing is how our brain interprets and responds to the information we get through our senses—sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, movement, and body position. Everyone processes sensory input differently. Some may be more sensitive, while others need stronger input to feel things.
For example, do you ever feel overwhelmed by loud noises or uncomfortable in certain fabrics? This might be related to how your brain processes sensory input.
Sensory challenges can affect daily life, like getting dressed, focusing at school, or participating in social activities. But there’s good news—Occupational Therapy can help!
Occupational Therapists (OTs) are trained to assess and support individuals with sensory processing difficulties. T
OTs help people:
🔹 Better understand their sensory preferences
🔹 Develop strategies to manage sensory overload or seeking tendencies
This can lead to improved focus, emotional regulation, and overall participation in daily life!
