What are Sensory Processing Disorders?

Sensory Processing Disorders refer to difficulties in organizing and making sense of information that comes in through the senses.

For some individuals, the world can feel overwhelming, and seemingly ordinary sensory stimuli may lead to intense reactions. This condition can affect people of all ages and is not limited to a specific demographic.

SPD manifests in various ways, impacting how individuals perceive and respond to sensory input such as touch, sound, taste, smell, and sight.

At Midwest Wellness Center Associates, we recognize the diversity of sensory challenges and tailor our approach to meet the unique needs of each individual.

What Causes Sensory Processing Disorders?

The exact causes of SPD remain elusive, as it is a complex condition influenced by a combination of genetic, neurological, and environmental factors. Research suggests that certain risk factors, such as premature birth or a family history of sensory issues, may contribute to the development of SPD.

Additionally, neurological differences in how the brain processes sensory information can play a significant role. At Midwest Wellness Center Associates, our team of experienced psychiatrists utilizes cutting-edge diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of SPD in order to develop personalized treatment plans.

What are Signs of Sensory Processing Disorders?

Recognizing the signs and symptoms of SPD is critical for early intervention and effective treatment. Common indicators may include:

• Over-Responsiveness: Heightened sensitivity to stimuli, leading to strong reactions like discomfort, anxiety, or irritability.
• Under-Responsiveness: Diminished response to sensory input, resulting in a lack of awareness or responsiveness to environmental cues.
• Sensory Seeking Behaviors: Intense cravings for certain sensory experiences, such as excessive movement or touch.
• Difficulty with Transitions: Challenges in adapting to changes in routine or environment.
• Motor Coordination Issues: Difficulty with fine and gross motor skills.
• Social and Emotional Challenges: Struggles in social interactions or emotional regulation.

Our team at Midwest Wellness Center Associates has the expertise to conduct thorough assessments, identify specific sensory challenges, and tailor interventions to address the unique needs of each individual.
