Sensory Processing | Sensory Supports

Sensory processing is the biological process that enables individuals to organize and distinguish sensory information from their own body and the environment, making it possible to use the body effectively within the environment. This process deals with how the brain processes multiple sensory modality inputs. Research has shown that different regions of the brain may not be solely responsible for only one sensory modality, but could use multiple inputs to perceive what the body senses about its environment. Multisensory integration is necessary for almost every activity that people perform. The study of sensory processing has been led by pioneers such as Lucy Jane Miller, who has made significant contributions to the field of sensory processing disorder.
