Sensory processing disorder
Sensory Processing Disorder is a disorder where your
brain misinterpretes signals from your senses.
It has only recently been studied
and brought to the attention of
the medical community, however
it is a much more widespread
phenomanon than most realise.
SPD commonly occurs in those
with autism although that
is not a neccisary requirement
and is quite common. All 7 of
a persons senses can be
effected by SPD, Visual, Olfactory,
Oral, Auditory, Proprioception,
Vestibular, Tactile
of children
entering school
have spd
3-15%
of those
are male73%
of children
diagnosed with
autism will also
have spd
88%
“Being an occupational
therapist for SPD means
adapting to every child and parent differently...
It’s as much about the family as
a whole as the individual. We
are giving them strategy’s
for the real world.”
Elizabeth BrauerCincinnati Childrens Cincainnati Occupational Therapy
“The child always dictates
what you do in each session.
If they say no the we wont
do it. So everything has
to be engaging and interesting, as well as
sensory rich.”
Deborah Whitcomb
It’s all about strategic fun.
Research isn’t everything;
we needed to walk in the shoes of our user
“It’s all about play value. The scarf, jacket and glove have the most potential.
You have to help the kids want to use it”Nancy Suer Miriam Hill Joan May
