Sensory and Self Regulation

Sensory Tools/Resources for home

Sensory processing is how the brain takes in and understands information from the senses, like sight, sound, touch, and movement. When sensory processing doesn't work smoothly, it can make daily activities feel overwhelming or difficult, like being bothered by loud noises or struggling with certain textures in food or clothing.
