Ep.12 Understanding Sensory Processing Differences

Parents of Neurodivergent Students Group


This episode explains sensory processing and how differences in sensory processing can impact daily life. It describes how some individuals may be hypersensitive or hyposensitive to sensory input, leading to challenges in school, social situations, and self-care. 

The episode emphasizes the importance of creating sensory-friendly environments in schools, homes, and public spaces by providing strategies such as quiet areas, flexible routines, and sensory tools. 

It also advocates for a shift in understanding, promoting validation, self-advocacy, and the recognition of strengths associated with sensory differences. Ultimately, the goal is to foster inclusivity and respect for neurodiversity.
