Sensory Disorders Management
Sensory Support for a Brighter Future at The Face
Understanding Sensory Processing Challenges:
Sensory intake plays a very crucial role in our day-to-day lives that we can’t afford to ignore. Children with SPD perceive incoming sensations in different ways than other children do. For instance, they may overreact (hypersensitivity) to certain stimuli causing them to withdraw or become agitated. Conversely, some children are under-responsive (hyposensitive) and crave more intense sensory experiences.

Common Sensory Disorders and Their Symptoms:
Causes of Sensory Disorders Management:
- Genetics: Research has shown that this could be genetic as it often appears within families.
- Brain Development: Abnormal neural pathways or brain activity have been suggested as factors influencing sensory information processing.
- Prenatal Factors: Certain drugs or substances used during pregnancy could pose a risk.
- Developmental Delays or Neurological Conditions: There are occasions where sensory processing challenges occur about disorders such as ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
- Environmental Factors: Although not studied extensively, some theories suggest an association between early environmental experiences and SPD.
Our Sensory Disorders Management Process:
- Sensory integration activities for fostering acceptance of different sensations.
- Therapeutic play and exercises aimed at improving motor skills and coordination.
- Social skills training to enable them to interact socially.
- Strategies for managing anxiety disorders and promoting emotional regulation.
