What Parents Should Know About Sensory Processing Differences in Children

Everyone experiences the world through their senses: 

sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell, balance, and body awareness.

But for some children, the input they get from their senses might feel too intense or uncomfortable. 

A bright light might hurt their eyes, a shirt tag may feel unbearable on their skin, or they may find the noise in a room intolerable. Others might need more sensory input to stay regulated, which may have them seeking constant motion, unable to sit still.

These are examples of sensory processing differences, which can make daily routines and activities harder to manage for your child.
