How Is Sensory Integration Disorder Treated?
Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) is also known as Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). Both terms represent a neurological condition in which the sufferer struggles to process sensory information. It is more common in children and represents anywhere between 5% - 16% of the population.
The types of sensory information that are difficult for a person with SID to process include auditory, visual, tactile, and cognitive. In other words, sights, sounds, textures, and social interactions can quickly overwhelm a child or adult with Sensory Integration Disorder.
That said, there are many treatment options available for sufferers of SID. With time, symptoms can be managed and the condition coped with and prognosis improved. At Neal Psychology Specialties, we believe there is always hope for a happier and healthier future.
For now, the exact cause of SID is unknown. However, it’s believed there are both genetic and environmental components to the disorder. It’s most commonly found in children and adults with autism spectrum disorder or other developmental conditions.
