| Hi , As we go about our day, our brains are constantly being fed information through our senses. The role of Sensory Processing is to define that information for us. For example, any sound that you hear enters your brain through the ears as sound waves. Then, based on past experiences, the brain defines that information as safe or unsafe, loud or soft, or comfortable or uncomfortable. Only once that definition is in place can we put out an appropriate response. We run into problems when, for whatever reason, the brain is not fully or correctly processing incoming information. This is where an itchy sweater or tag is processed as ‘life-threatening’ rather than just plain old itchy. Or a sound is processed as dangerous and uncomfortable when most people would not find it offensive at all! Have you ever noticed a reaction like this in your child? Read the full blog here!
