Sensory processing disorder (SPD) occurs when the brain and the body cannot properly process and modulate the sensory input coming in. This causes a negative, adverse reaction to the incoming sensory input. This in turn negatively affects the individual’s life, on a DAILY basis.

Sensory quirks are the smaller, less significant sensory things you seek out or avoid throughout the day. For example: chewing gum to stay focused, or fidgeting with your pen while listening to a lecture, or disliking loud noises. The difference between a sensory quirk and SPD is that a sensory quirk does not negatively impact daily function.

Listen to this episode to learn more about SPD and sensory quirks, plus a few tips and tricks.

Answering YOUR question today - how can I improve my daily documentation?

In the field of OT, documentation is extremely important! Not only is it a way for us, the therapists, to keep track of what we’re doing and why, as well as to show that our clients are making progress, but it’s also important for insurance purposes.

You know the saying “work smarter, not harder”?

You can kind of apply that to writing documentation - write smarter, not longer!

Today we’re going to dive into what happens when a child has retained primitive reflexes and they are in school - what does this look like? What does it mean? And how can teachers help?

Challenges at school that may seem like behaviors or even other diagnoses, such as ADHD or Anxiety, even SPD, could really be related to those underlying reflexes that never were integrated.
