Does your child cover their ears at loud sounds or avoid certain clothing textures? These may be signs of sensory processing challenges. At Centerpointe for Children in Irvine, our occupational therapy team specializes in helping children with sensory regulation issues develop the skills they need to navigate daily life with confidence.

🤔 What Is Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)?

Sensory Processing Disorder affects how the brain processes and responds to information from the senses. Children with SPD may:

• Be extremely sensitive to sound, light, or textures
• Struggle with balance or coordination
• Have difficulty sitting still or focusing
• Avoid messy play or certain foods
• Become overwhelmed in noisy environments

These challenges can affect school performance, self-esteem, and everyday routines.

🧩 How Occupational Therapy Helps

At Centerpointe, our therapists create individualized sensory-based treatment plans tailored to each child’s needs. Using tools like swings, weighted items, deep pressure techniques, and visual-motor exercises, we help children:

• Improve sensory integration and self-regulation
• Build tolerance to stimuli
• Reduce meltdowns and emotional overload
• Enhance participation at home, in school, and in the community
