What are the types of sensory disorders?

There are 3 main types of sensory processing disorders:

Sensory Modulation Disorder (SMD)
Sensory-Based Motor Disorder (SBMD)
Sensory Discrimination Disorder.

What is sensory processing disorder like?

Children with sensory processing disorder have difficulty processing information from the senses (touch, movement, smell, taste, vision, and hearing) and responding appropriately to that information. These children typically have one or more senses that either over- or under react to stimulation.

How can I tell if my child has sensory issues?

Symptoms of sensory processing disorder

Think soft touches feel too hard.
Experience food textures make them gag.
Have poor balance or seem clumsy.
Are afraid to play on the swings.

How do you test for sensory disorders?

Currently the standardised assessment tool used to diagnose Sensory Processing Disorder is the Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests. This consists of 17 tests that are used to test several aspects of sensory processing.

Do sensory issues get worse with age?

3. Can it become worse as one ages? SPD becomes worse with injuries and when with normal aging as the body begins to become less efficient. So, if you always had balance problems and were clumsy, this can become more of a problem in your senior years.

Is sensory processing disorder a real thing?

Is SPD a REAL diagnosis? In a word… YES! One of the most frustrating things about Sensory Processing Disorders (Sensory Integration Dysfunction) is that there has not YET been enough significant, massive, SPD research through controlled studies to quantify, prove, or predict the symptoms and life course of this disorder (in the eyes of the medical community).
