    #277 - 10 Facts About Sensory Processing Disorder

    #277 - 10 Facts About Sensory Processing Disorder

    Sensory Diet Digital Course SALE Starts October 16, 2023

    October is Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) Awareness Month.

    SPD is a condition that affects how the brain processes and responds to sensory information from the environment and the body.

    Individuals with SPD may have difficulty regulating and interpreting sensory input, such as touch, sound, taste, smell, and movement. This can lead to challenges in daily life, affecting their ability to engage in activities, interact with others, and navigate their surroundings.

    SPD can occur in both children and adults and is often seen in conjunction with other conditions such as autism,, ADHD, or developmental delays.

    It is important to note that SPD is not officially recognized as a standalone diagnosis in the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), but it is commonly acknowledged and studied within the field of occupational therapy and sensory integration.

    In this episode, we dive into 10 facts about SPD, including what type of disorder it is, who can struggle with it, comorbidities, and more!

    #268 - Sensory Integration with Visual Impairments

    Welcome to another All Things Sensory by Harkla podcast episode!

    In today’s episode, we discuss the challenges faced by children with visual impairments and how sensory integration therapy can be beneficial.

    Studies have shown that children with visual impairments are at a higher risk of experiencing sensory processing difficulties. Sensory integration therapy has been found to be effective in helping children with visual impairments navigate their environment and improve their overall sensory processing abilities.

    We explore practical strategies and approaches that can be incorporated into daily routines to support children with visual impairments. These may involve the use of multisensory techniques, such as incorporating bright colors, tactile objects, and auditory components to enhance their sensory experiences.

    Join us as we dive into the world of sensory integration for visual impairments, and discover how this therapy can make a positive difference in the lives of children with visual impairments.

    #261 - Sensory Friendly Bedtime Routines

    In today’s episode, we dive into the topic of bedtime routines for kids. First we explore our own personal bedtime routines with our children and offer practical strategies for creating an enjoyable and effective bedtime routine. We then discuss the importance of incorporating sensory activities during the day and after dinner to help prepare children for a restful night's sleep.

    We also tackle some questions that our listeners have about sleep and the bedtime routine. From dealing with bedtime battles to tips for soothing anxious little ones, we've got you covered.

    So, sit back, relax, and tune in to our podcast as we share our experiences and advice on how to create a successful bedtime routine for your children. Whether you're a new parent or a seasoned pro, or a therapist working with children who struggle with sleep, there's always something new to learn about helping your child get the rest they need to thrive.
