Many of my students have a Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) as a byproduct of their disability. SPD is when the neural pathways in the brain do not appropriately process sensory information from the environment. Some examples of this include: overstimulation (sensory information is OVER processed), under-stimulation (sensory information is not processed at all or very little input is given to the brain), poor balance, and poor muscle coordination. According to Autism Speaks, sensory integration helps improve daily function. Sensory Integration Network suggests that this type of therapy also helps the brain sort and organize sensory information, and allows students to appropriately process information from their environment. Sensory integration within the classroom helps students return to emotional baseline and increase focus during academics. For students that have SPD, the world can be a scary and confusing place. This can cause individuals to become upset out of fear, confusion, and/or anger. When a student reacts in this manner, it is incredibly important to help students self-regulate and return to calm state as quickly as possible. One of the most effective ways to calm a child is through sensory integration. By teaching students how to provide their own sensory therapy, we are teaching him or her how to self-regulate. When students are calm and relaxed, we are able to teach them life skills, reading, math, and so much more. Students are allowed sensory breaks to help reduce self-stimulation, heightened emotions, and anxiety. Sensory Breaks include: deep pressure, bouncing, spinning, fidgets, and brushing.
