Sensory processing challenges are common among children with autism and developmental delays, impacting how they perceive and respond to the world around them. At My Favorite Therapists Tampa Center, we specialize in helping children manage sensory processing disorders (SPD) to improve their daily comfort and function.
What is Sensory Processing Disorder?
SPD occurs when the brain has trouble receiving and responding to sensory information from the environment. This can cause children to be overly sensitive to sounds, textures, lights, or movements—or sometimes not sensitive enough—leading to difficulties in everyday activities.
Signs to Watch For
- Overreacting or underreacting to touch, noise, or visual stimuli
- Difficulty with coordination or balance
- Avoidance of certain textures or foods
- Trouble focusing or calming down
Recognizing these signs early can lead to more effective therapy and better outcomes.
How Therapy Helps
Occupational therapy and sensory integration techniques are key treatments for SPD. At My Favorite Therapists, our trained professionals create personalized plans that may include:
- Sensory activities to help regulate responses
- Motor skill exercises to improve coordination
- Strategies to cope with overwhelming stimuli
- Parent coaching to support sensory-friendly routines at home
Helping Your Child Thrive
With the right therapy, children learn to manage sensory challenges, leading to improved behavior, communication, and participation in everyday life.
