What Is Sensory Processing Disorder?

Sensory Processing DisorderSensory Processing Disorder is a neurological disorder that results in the inefficient integration and organization of sensory input received by the nervous system. This creates an interruption in the ability to assimilate the senses into the learning environment. People who suffer from this disorder live in a world of fractured sensory input and, consequently, often have problems with academic achievement and interpersonal relations.

What Are Common Symptoms Of Sensory Processing Disorder?

Symptoms vary in range and intensity from person to person. Some symptoms of this disorder are overly sensitive reactions to touch, taste and certain sounds and types of light. Other symptoms are problems with coordination, delays in speech, language and motor skills, and activity levels that are unusually high or low. Slow mental processing and impaired memory are common problems and can lead to low academic performance. Some people experience gravitational insecurity, which can cause unreasonable anxiety when sitting or standing on moving objects. Behaviorally, this disorder can manifest as impulsivity, distractibility, irritability and difficulties with social emotional response and social interaction skills.

Who Is A Candidate For This Intervention?

Our unique approach to developmental learning is a drug-free, technology-driven program that can be customized for each person. The ISPSM accelerates sensory integration and can improve learning abilities in people of all ages. The Individualized Sensory Program can benefit individuals who suffer from a variety of disorders. It also can enhance learning abilities in people who may not have been diagnosed but who have difficulty achieving at the same level as their peers. Innovative and relatively new, it is gaining increasing recognition for the quick, tangible results that have been observed in many autistic children who have been through the program.
