What is Sensory Processing ?

Sensory processing is the ability to receive information through the 7 senses (vision, smell, taste, touch, hearing, vestibular and proprioception), organise and interpret that sensory input, and formulate an appropriate response. For most people this process is seamless and automatic. However, for some students they are unable to detect these senses or unable to organise them into appropriate responses.
