What other ways can problems with sensory processing affect an individual?
Individuals show different behaviors when they have sensory-processing problems. Here is another example: Often times we see individuals who seem to be distracted by everything that happens in a room. They are not able to filter out what is happening around them in order to stay focused on a task. For instaqnce, if there is a window in the room the individual may be distracted by seeing people outside. Or if there is a sudden loud noise, the individual may be so distracted by the noise that it takes a long while to again focus on the task at hand. Doing a familiar task at home, can be very different from trying to do the same task at work where the sensory environment is different.
