Sensory Processing refers to the way a person’s nervous system receives sensory messages and turns them into responses. These senses include sight (vision), sound (auditory), touch (tactile), taste (gustatory), body position (proprioception) and movement (vestibular). Most people receive and organize these messages effortlessly into adaptive physiological and behavioral responses.
One tool to help a child with sensory processing difficulties is the use of a “Sensory Diet”.
This “diet” includes possible changes to your child’s environment as well as participation in meaningful sensory based activities. This “diet”, or “menu” of activities and strategies should be selected with a child’s interests and individual needs in mind.
