Condition
Sensory Processing Disorder
Difficulty organising sensory input for everyday functioning.
Children with sensory processing difficulties over-react or under-react to touch, sound, movement, taste or light. This affects sleep, eating, dressing, classroom attention and emotional regulation, and improves with graded sensory integration therapy.
Early signs
- Covers ears at everyday sounds
- Refuses certain clothes or food textures
- Constantly spinning, jumping or crashing
- Meltdowns in crowded places
How it is diagnosed
- Sensory profile and clinical observation
- Occupational therapy assessment
Our approach
- Orange has dedicated sensory gyms at every centre, so therapy uses real equipment rather than table-top substitutes.
