Sensory processing refers to the ability of a child to register, interpret and respond to sensory information. This is a complex process involving all the sensory systems, auditory, gustatory, visual, olfactory, tactile, proprioception, vestibular, and interoception.  

 

When sensory processing is working well, a child can fully engage in daily functional activities and social interaction. Sensory processing differences are prevalent in autistic children and can affect every aspect of development and daily life. 

 

This session examines the sensory processing differences experienced by many autistic children and will demonstrate how such differences impact on learning, play, social interactions, and personal care for the primary school aged child. 

 

Expected Outcomes 

Participants will: 

  • Develop an understanding of the sensory processing differences. 

  • Understand how sensory processing differences can affect the child’s experience at school, home, and other settings 

  • Understand how sensory processing differences can present in an autistic child. 

  • Understand how sensory processing differences can influence the child’s participation in daily activities.
