EP 112 - Sensory Processing Basics for SLPs May 02, 2023

Show notes

In today's episode, I talk about sensory processing basics for SLPs. Currently, the American Occupational Therapy Association recommends that providers use the full term "sensory integration and processing." This refers to how our brain and body use information from sensations to understand the world. This information comes in through our eight sensory systems, which are smell, taste, touch, visual, auditory, proprioceptive, vestibular, and interoception. I also discuss the different types of disordered sensory integration and processing that we might see in our students and some tips to help SLPs.

Historically it has been mainly used in the business world, especially in product development. But it has become an increasingly popular tool in education and healthcare in the past few decades.
