Impact of Sensory Processing Issues on Behavior
Sensory processing issues can significantly hinder a child's ability to focus and regulate their emotions. When these sensory needs are not adequately addressed, children may exhibit behavioral problems and attention difficulties, as their minds become preoccupied with sensory discomfort. For instance, stimuli that may seem benign to many, such as sounds or textures, can provoke overreactions or avoidance behaviors in sensitive children. Understanding the different ways individuals process sensory information is crucial for educators and caregivers to help these children overcome their challenges.
