Sensory processing disorder; Other names: Sensory integration dysfunction: An SPD nosology proposed by Miller LJ et al. (2007) [1] Specialty: Psychiatry, occupational therapy, neurology: Symptoms: Hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity to stimuli, and/or difficulties using sensory information to plan movement. Problems discriminating ...
A. Jean Ayres referred to developmental coordination disorder as a disorder of sensory integration in 1972, [68] [69] while in 1975 Sasson Gubbay, MD, called it the "clumsy child syndrome". [42] [70] [71] Developmental coordination disorder has also been called "minimal brain dysfunction", although the two latter names are no longer in use.
The scientific study of the causes of developmental disorders involves many theories. Some of the major differences between these theories involves whether environment disrupts normal development, if abnormalities are pre-determined, or if they are products of human evolutionary history which become disorders in modern environments (see evolutionary psychiatry). [5]
It was specifically designed to treat Sensory Processing Disorder (sometimes called Sensory Integrative Dysfunction). [1] Sensory Integration Therapy is based on A. Jean Ayres's Sensory Integration Theory, which proposes that sensory-processing is linked to emotional regulation, learning, behavior, and participation in daily life. [2] Sensory ...
A sensory friendly environment is created to assist those with a sensory processing disorder (SPD). The disorder is characterized by a hypersensitivity to stimuli accompanied by anxiety. [1] The Sensory Processing Disorder Foundation believes that there may be as many as one in every 20 people living with a sensory processing disorder. [2]
Unusual responses to sensory stimuli are more common and prominent in individuals with autism, and sensory abnormalities are commonly recognized as diagnostic criteria in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as reported in the DSM-5; although there is no good evidence that sensory symptoms differentiate autism from other developmental disorders.

By way of definition, Aron and Aron (1997) wrote that sensory processing here refers not to the sense organs themselves, but to what occurs as sensory information is transmitted to or processed in the brain. [4] They assert that the trait is not a disorder but an innate survival strategy that has both advantages and disadvantages. [11] [12]
