What is sensory processing?
Sensory processing is the ability to take in information through our senses, organize it, and produce a meaningful response. Effective sensory processing influences our behaviors and allows us to perform our daily activities, from simple tasks such as sitting in a chair to complex ones like mathematical equations. People with sensory processing problems/or deficits often have difficulty making sense of this input, and may have difficulties/problems relating appropriately to others and to their environment.
