What is Sensory Processing Disorder?


Listen Later

Sensory processing disorder (SPD) is said to affect 1 in 20 people in our general population. And yet, I still get asked “What is sensory processing disorder?” on an almost daily basis. So many people still don’t know about it.

Today on the podcast, I’m going to be talking all about SPD. We’ll discuss some signs you can look for, as well as the ways that it can affect an individual.

Do you have experience with SPD? Or have you found any help/support that has really worked? Let us know in the comments down below. I love to hear about therapies and support systems that are working for you all.

In This Podcast
  • What is SPD?
  • Signs to look for.
  • The 8 sensory systems.
  • Ways to help individuals with SPD.
  • Links and Resources Discussed

    There are a range of different checklists that are available online and from your GP to help you. I have included a popular one down below for you to try. You can also contact your GP or Occupational Therapist for support too. And they may be able to provide you with a checklist.
