Sensory Sensations
Sensory processing refers to the way the nervous system received messages from the senses and turns them into appropriate motor and behavioural responses.
A person with a sensory disorder finds it difficult to process and act up information received through the senses which creates challenges in performing countless everyday tasks.
There are two types of sensory processing challenges and many adults and children experience a mix of the two. One is oversensitivity (hypersensitivity) which can lead to sensory avoiding – where sensory input is avoided because it too overwhelming. The other is under-sensitivity (hyposensitivity) which causes sensory seeking – as more sensory stimulation is sought.
