Understanding Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD): Help Your Child Thrive in a Sensory Overloaded World

Is your child constantly overwhelmed by loud noises, bright lights, or the texture of their clothing? Or do they seek sensory input, always moving, touching, or craving stimulation? Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) can impact your child in ways you may not even realize, making it hard for them to focus, behave, and connect with the world. Understanding how SPD affects your child is the first step in helping them navigate a sensory-heavy world. This comprehensive course will equip you with tools and strategies to help your child overcome these sensory challenges.

What is Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)?

Sensory Processing Disorder is a condition where the brain has trouble receiving and responding to information from the senses. Children with SPD may overreact to sensory stimuli (sensory defensiveness) or underreact and seek out more intense sensory experiences (sensory seeking). This can affect their ability to function in everyday environments, from school to social settings. SPD can impact any of the senses, including the lesser-known "eighth sense"—interoception—which is responsible for helping a person understand what’s happening inside their body, like hunger or the need to use the bathroom. SPD can also disrupt their emotional and physical well-being, making routine tasks feel overwhelming.

Why SPD Matters

When left unaddressed, Sensory Processing Disorder can lead to:

Emotional Dysregulation: Overwhelm from sensory input can result in meltdowns, withdrawal, or intense emotional reactions.

Behavioral Struggles: SPD often triggers frustration, defiance, or outbursts as your child tries to cope with the sensations they experience.

Social and Academic Challenges: Sensory issues can make it difficult for your child to focus, engage in social interactions, and succeed in school, affecting their self-esteem and confidence.
