Sensory processing is how our brains use what we sense (see, hear, taste and smell) to make sense of the world. A child with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is either very sensitive or not sensitive enough to the things around them. Children with ‘SPD’ can feel overwhelmed, stressed and anxious by their senses and go into flight or fight mode and feel in danger. They often have meltdowns - a way of them letting you know they are feeling really uncomfortable. Because their brain sees the sensory input as "not enough," sensory seekers respond to sensory stimuli with an urge to seek out more. Sensory sensitive children often respond with a fight, flight or freeze response because their brain experiences the input as *too much*.
