Neuroversity
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD): Building a Sensory Diet and What's Next for SPD
Show Notes

*Disclaimer: if your child has been diagnosed with SPD, or you suspect they have SPD, the best place to begin with any type of diagnostic or treatment plans is with an Occupational Therapist trained in sensory integration.  I am not an OT, and the information in this podcast series should not be used in any way to diagnose you or your child.  

In part three of our 3 part series on SPD, the focus today will be on developing a well rounded sensory diet and where the research on SPD is headed.   You will learn:

  • A review of the types of SPD
    • A Sensory avoider
    • A Sensory straggler
    • A Sensory seeker 
    • A Sensory jumbler
    • A Sensory slumper
    • A Sensory fumbler 
  • A review of the eight senses
    • Sight
    • Sound
    • Smell
    • Taste
    • Touch
    • Vestibular
    • Proprioceptive
