How to Treat Sensory Processing Disorder
by Rahul V. Digital Marketing CompanyThe body is designed in a way wherein the different sense
organs work with the brain for the interpretation of the different senses so
that we can exhibit the appropriate responses, both behavioral and motor.
However, there are instances when the responses are not proper because of
misinterpretation of the senses. This condition is called sensory processing
disorder.
Sensory processing disorder (SPD) was formerly known as
sensory integration dysfunction was first described by A. Jean Ayres, a
neuroscientist who said that this disorder is similar to a 'traffic jam' that
occurs in the neurons, wherein some parts of the brain are prevented from
receiving the correct information so that sensory information are interpreted
correctly. For someone who has SPD, what happens is that sensory information is
perceived differently from that which is normal to other people. This will then
result in behavior or responses that are unusual, which makes it hard to
accomplish some tasks.
The exact causes of sensory processing disorder are not yet
known, and are still subject to research studies. There have been results
however saying that this is an inherited disorder, but there can also be
environmental factors that can contribute to it. When this is not properly
managed while a child is still young, it can result to several problems
involving the child's emotional, education and social state. Because of the
problems with the child's motor skills, he can become isolated from his peers,
suffering from low self-esteem. There can also be poor self-concept and failure
with academics. Those who are unaware of this disorder will be labeling the
child as clumsy, disruptive or even uncooperative. When this gets worse, it
will lead to depression, anger problems, anxiety and aggression.
The treatment of sensory processing disorder will warrant
the services of an occupational therapist. The occupational therapist will
provide sensory integration therapy for the child, wherein sensory stimuli and
experiences will be taught to the child. There will also be sensory diet, a
therapy where the therapist will plan and schedule activities for the child to
address the different needs of the nervous system. There will be different
techniques that will be included in the therapy such as calming, alerting and
organizing. The treatment for SPD can also include alternative therapies
depending on what the doctor says. One of the common therapies is therapeutic
body brushing which is ideal for children who are oversensitive to sensory
experiences. This will help the SPD patient to learn how to adjust to certain
sensory stimulations.
There is no definite cure for sensory processing disorder
for the treatments that were mentioned will only help the affected person learn
how to adapt and react properly to stimulations. If you are taking care of a
child who is suffering from SPD, you have to be patient when dealing with him,
since it is not just frustrating for you but it is more difficult to the child.
It will take some time before the child can learn the appropriate responses so
you will have to assist him and make sure that he learns properly. And of
course, you will need to assist him with developing his mental, emotional and
social skills.
