Sensory Processing Disorder Treatment

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is when the brain has difficulty accurately processing information from the senses. This can lead to problems with movement, learning, behavior, and social interactions. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, including heightened sensitivity or under-responsiveness to sound, touch, taste, smell, sight, movement, and other stimuli. Other signs of SPD include delayed development, avoidance of certain activities or environments, difficulty with fine and gross motor skills, poor self-regulation, and an inability to transition from one activity to another.

SPD is diagnosed by a qualified healthcare professional such as an occupational therapist, physical therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist. The therapy team will typically evaluate the individual’s sensory processing patterns and determine whether they are within the typical range or outside of it. This includes looking at the person’s behaviors and reactions to various sensory inputs and selecting the best treatment plan.

Treatment options for individuals with SPD vary depending on the severity of symptoms and the individual’s needs. Generally, treatment plans involve a combination of occupational therapy (OT), physical therapy (PT), sensory integration therapy, speech-language therapy, play therapy, and counseling or psychotherapy.

•  – Occupational Therapy focuses on increasing an individual’s ability to participate in the activities of daily living and can help them learn how to process sensory information better.
•  – Physical Therapy focuses on improving gross motor skills, flexibility, balance, strength, and endurance.
•  – Sensory Integration Therapy provides a structured environment for individuals to explore different sensory experiences.
•  – Speech-language Therapy helps improve communication skills.
•  – Play therapy allows children to express themselves in a safe, non-threatening environment.
•  – Counseling or psychotherapy can help individuals address and work through emotional issues that may impact their quality of life.
