Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)

By Alyssa ClementsSlide2

The Central Nervous System

Visual

Auditory

Tactile (touch)Olfactory (smell)Gustatory (taste)Vestibular (balance)Proprioception (body position)Slide3

A Typical Sensory System

The senses receive stimulus from the environment.

The sensory system sends the information to the brain.

The brain interprets the information and sends out a behavioral command to the body. The body reacts. Examples: Touching a hot burner, sunlight, loud noiseSlide4

A Sensory System with SPD

Sensory Processing Disorder/Sensory Integration Dysfunction

A. Jean Ayres, PhD. – Occupational therapist and neuroscientist, 1960-1980

SPD is a condition which prevents the brain from receiving information from the sensory system in order to process and act upon it (“traffic jam”).Individuals with SPD may be unable to from perform everyday tasks and may characterized with clumsiness, behavioral issues, depression, anxiety, and academic failure. Slide5

SPD Spectrum

SPD may affect just 1 or more of the 7 senses in any combination.

Overstimulation vs. Under-stimulation

High intensity vs. low intensityhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O6Cm0WxEZASlide6

Diagnosis & Intervention

Intervention is more effective with young children because their brains are still developing and can be changed more easily.

Early intervention can reduce labeling, poor academics, and stressed family life.

Because the symptoms of SPD and ADHD can be so similar, many children are often misdiagnosed with ADHD and do not receive the proper treatment.

Many children never receive treatment and live with SPD their entire lives. Slide10

Occupational Therapy

The most common treatment for SPD is Occupational Therapy – a controlled play environment.

The goal is self-regulation.
