Why the DSM Doesn't Acknowledge Sensory Integration Symptoms
Wednesday, January 22, 2025 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
- DescriptionSensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a condition where a person has difficulties regulating their senses within their environment. These are our clients who can experience the world as being "too loud" or "too intense". They can experience the world as being so sensory over-whelming that their bodies go into a defensive "fight, flight or freeze" stance. For many people with SPD, their constant need to re-regulate their senses to adapt to the stimuli around them, creates symptoms of distractibility, irritability, anxiety, and depression.
