Sensory Processing Disorder Treatment in Jaipur | SPD Therapy - JCDC

Understanding Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) occurs when the brain has difficulty receiving, organizing, and responding to sensory information. Children with SPD may overreact or underreact to sounds, textures, movement, or visual stimuli, affecting their daily functioning and behavior. At JCDC, our occupational therapists are trained in sensory integration techniques and provide a specialized sensory-rich therapy environment to help children develop better sensory processing abilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, SPD and autism are different conditions, though they often co-occur. Many children with autism have sensory processing difficulties, but a child can have SPD without autism. A proper evaluation helps distinguish between the two.
