By Alyssa Clements The Central Nervous System Visual Auditory Tactile touch Olfactory smell Gustatory taste Vestibular balance Proprioception body position A Typical Sensory System. Training. Sensory Processing:. Sensory Processing difficulties occurs when sensory information coming in from the senses is not interpreted efficiently or the brain is unable to make sense of incoming messages.. It only matters in everyday life. Winnie Dunn PhD OTR FAOTA. Distinguished Professor. University of Missouri. Prevalence of Sensory Processing Patterns in the General Population. Winnie Dunn PhD OTR . What does it all mean???. The central nervous system (CNS) is responsible for states of alertness, reaction to stimuli, behavior and mood. .. 80% of our brain function is taken up by sensory processing.. Exploring the Line Between Personal Quirks and Functional Impairments. by Jenny Lujan, OTR. Definition of Sensory Processing. Sensory processing refers to the ability to take information from our senses (touch, movement, smell, taste, vision, and hearing) and put it together with prior information, memories, and knowledge stored in the brain to make a meaningful response. . Objectives. Describe some of the signs, symptoms, and manifestations of SPD, and how they are often misread as other disorders. Identify at least 2-3 possible functional limitations and/or barriers resulting from SPD.. The sensation and input we receive by using one or all of our senses. A treatment modality commonly used for individuals with moderate to severe disabilities or health conditions. Offered to all age groups and in a variety of settings. Speaker: Tony Evans.

The sensory epithelium in each organ is the key component, although it is small relative to all the ancillary apparatus. Amy Akiba, Elijah Balancio, Marissa Martinez, & Keala Sheets. What is APD?. History. Helmer . Mykleburst. (1954) was the first to note the symptoms of APD. He was the first to characterize symptoms. Since the time APD symptoms were first articulated, APD has not been properly, nor clearly defined because it is difficult to diagnose. Many researchers have found contradicting information on what defines the disorder. For now, APD is categorized into three types known as: Secondary APD, Acquired APD, and Developmental APD. . 101.
