Is Sensory Processing Disorder different from “dysfunction of sensory integration” or “sensory integration dysfunction”?
No. Sensory Processing Disorder is a new term that health care professionals are now using to describe dysfunction of sensory integration/sensory integration function. Sensory Processing Disorder or SPD is an umbrella term for several distinct forms of sensory processing issues. Read more about the types of SPD in Defining SPD and its subtypes.
