Sensory Processing Disorder
Treatment in Lucknow

Helping the world feel manageable

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) occurs when the brain has difficulty receiving, interpreting, and responding to sensory information from the body and environment. Children with SPD may be over-responsive (hypersensitive), under-responsive (hyposensitive), or crave sensory input — all of which can profoundly affect behaviour, learning, and daily life.

Recognise the Signs

Signs & Symptoms of
Sensory Processing Disorder

Recognising these signs early can make a significant difference. If your child shows several of these, seek a professional evaluation promptly.

Extreme sensitivity to textures or clothing

Distress over seams in socks, tags in shirts, or specific food textures — not "fussiness" but genuine sensory discomfort.

Overreaction to sounds or lights

Covering ears at ordinary noise levels, distress in busy environments, or avoiding bright light.

Sensory seeking behaviour

Constantly moving, crashing, jumping, spinning, or seeking deep pressure — the child who never stops.

Poor body awareness

Bumping into things, misjudging space, difficulty with balance, or not knowing how hard they are touching.

Emotional meltdowns in sensory environments

Disproportionate emotional reactions in crowded, noisy, or unfamiliar sensory environments.

Feeding difficulties due to sensory aversion

Extreme food selectivity based on texture, smell, or appearance rather than taste.

Understanding the Condition

Causes & Contributing Factors

Understanding why Sensory Processing Disorder occurs helps families navigate the journey with clarity and confidence.

Neurological Differences

SPD involves differences in how the brain integrates sensory signals from the body and environment — a neural wiring difference, not a behavioural choice.

Prematurity

Premature babies miss weeks or months of sensory development in the womb, placing them at higher risk of sensory processing difficulties.

Co-occurring Conditions

SPD very commonly co-occurs with autism, ADHD, developmental coordination disorder, and anxiety.

Genetic Factors

Research suggests a familial component to sensory processing differences, with higher rates in families of children with autism and ADHD.

SPD as a standalone diagnosis is not currently in the DSM-5 or ICD-11, though sensory processing difficulties are well-recognised clinically and described in both. Sensory differences are included as a criterion in autism diagnosis. Many children with significant sensory difficulties benefit from occupational therapy regardless of a formal label.

No. Children with SPD are not being naughty or manipulative. Their nervous system genuinely experiences sensory input differently. What feels ordinary to most people can be physically overwhelming or understimulating for a child with SPD. Understanding this changes the parenting and teaching approach entirely.

A sensory diet is not about food — it's a personalised schedule of sensory activities throughout the day designed to keep a child's nervous system in a calm, alert, and ready-to-learn state. Examples include heavy work activities before school, movement breaks, and deep pressure strategies. Our occupational therapists design these collaboratively with families.
