Parents and teachers often adapt differently for each child with sensory processing disorder (SPD) because it affects children differently. Some children have hypersensitivity, some grapple with hyposensitivity, and some children have both. With hypersensitivity, people are so sensitive to noise that a loud boom could make them cry in pain. Those with hyposensitivity have difficulty feeling, hearing, seeing, tasting, moving, or judging distance.
Sensory Processing Disorder is painful even when prepared for outbursts.
Teachers with students with SPD should identify trigger sensory triggers that might lead to an outburst. They should create sensory kits full of items that can help a child throughout the day. Teachers should remain calm and be careful not to shout at a child with SPD. Finally, it’s a good idea be consistent in the way you deal with the child.
