Sensory Processing Disorder (also known as SPD) is a condition that affects the way the brain interprets sensory signals (such as touch, sound or light) leading to unusual or exaggerated responses in the person. And although not always recognized, TPS can have a significant impact on the daily lives of those who experience it, especially children.

Children with TPS may be extremely sensitive to common sensory stimuli. For example, they may find everyday sounds overwhelmingly loud or actively seek out intense sensations such as spinning repeatedly or constantly touching objects.

TPS is a real condition that requires understanding and specific management strategies, especially in children. Early detection is key to helping a child better adapt to their environment. And with the right support, the child can learn to manage their sensory responses in a way that affects them less in their daily activities and relationships.

Two practical forms of support for a child with TPS may be:

+ occupational therapy with a focus on sensory integration to help the child process sensory stimuli more effectively,

+ adapting the child’s environment to minimize sensory discomfort.

Recognizing and addressing TPS in a child is crucial to providing better developmental opportunities.
