What is SPD?
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is sometimes known as Sensory Processing Difficulties / Differences or Sensory Integration Dysfunction.
​
SPD is when the brain finds it difficult to do its most important job, which is to organise and respond to the information it is receiving. A person with SPD finds it difficult to process and act upon information received through the senses, which means some daily living activities like washing are difficult.
​
The characteristics of SPD are often misunderstood to be negative behaviours. These might include breaking things, biting, pushing people, fidgeting with objects, humming or rocking.
