Sensory Diet Digital Course SALE Starts October 16, 2023October is Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) Awareness Month. SPD is a condition that affects how the brain processes and responds to sensory information from the environment and the body.Individuals with SPD may have difficulty regulating and interpreting sensory input, such as touch, sound, taste, smell, and movement. This can lead to challenges in daily life, affecting their ability to engage in activities, interact with others, and navigate their surroundings. SPD can occur in both children and adults and is often seen in conjunction with other conditions such as autism,, ADHD, or developmental delays. It is important to note that SPD is not officially recognized as a standalone diagnosis in the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), but it is commonly acknowledged and studied within the field of occupational therapy and sensory integration.In this episode, we dive into 10 facts about SPD, including what type of disorder it is, who can struggle with it, comorbidities, and more!
