How does sensory processing actually work?
Show Notes

In this episode, I break down the basics of sensory processing in a step  by step, easy to understand way. Learn how each of the 8 sensory inputs travel through our bodies, how the brain triggers a response and how that manifests in our behaviors. With this information, you’re ready to start tackling those behaviors from a more sensory informed lens!


You’ll learn: 

  • The 5-step process of how sensory information is processed and integrated
  • How sensory processing happens automatically and constantly in the background to allow us to function
  •  Why familiar routines and environments require less brain energy than new situations
  • What happens when our basic needs are not met
