Check out the Latest Video: Sensory Processing: Creating an Environment to Thrive Do you know what autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and post-traumatic stress disorder have in common? The answer is: sensory processing differences. These are just a few disabilities that commonly affect sensory processing. People process and react to sensory stimulation differently. Some people are more sensitive to sensory stimulation while others are under responsive. This can result in behaviors that are either sensory seeking or avoidant. However, just like with other human needs, a person’s sensory needs and how they process stimulation can change. Factors such as stress, the environment, and co-occurring disabilities affect how sensory information is received. In this webinar, we will discuss: What disabilities commonly affect sensory processing How sensory processing is affected by other factors too Recommended practices and environmental considerations for the workspace Watch Video Here!
