Sensory Processing
What is Sensory processing?
Sensory processing is the brain’s ability to receive, interpret, and respond to sensory information from the environment. It involves integrating input from various sensory modalities, such as sight, sound, touch, taste, smell, and movement, to create a coherent perception of the world and regulate behavior and emotions accordingly.

Featured Sensory Processing Toys:
Our selection of sensory processing toys is designed to engage different senses and promote sensory exploration and regulation:
Auditory Tools : Auditory tools, like musical instruments and sound-making toys, help children develop auditory processing skills. These tools encourage listening and sound discrimination, which are crucial for language development and attention.
Oral Sensory Tools : Oral sensory tools, such as chewable necklaces and textured teething toys, provide oral stimulation that can help soothe and focus children. These tools support oral motor skills and can be calming for children with sensory processing challenges.
Soft Toys : Soft toys like plush animals offer comfort and tactile stimulation, promoting emotional regulation and sensory exploration. They can be soothing and provide a sense of security for children.
Squeezy Toys : Squeezy toys, such as stress balls, provide resistance and tactile feedback, helping to strengthen hand muscles and improve grip. They are useful for stress relief and enhancing fine motor skills.
Messy Play : Messy play activities, such as playing with slime or finger paints, encourage tactile exploration and creativity. These activities help children become more comfortable with different textures and improve fine motor skills and sensory processing.
Understanding Sensory Development:
Sensory development involves the gradual refinement of sensory processing skills from infancy through adulthood. Key aspects of sensory development include:
Sensory Integration: The ability to combine and organize sensory input from different modalities into meaningful perceptions of the environment.
Sensory Discrimination: The capacity to detect and differentiate between various sensory stimuli, such as textures, temperatures, and sounds.
Sensory Modulation: The skill of regulating responses to sensory input, including filtering out irrelevant stimuli and modulating arousal levels.
Sensory-Motor Integration: The integration of sensory input with motor responses, enabling coordinated movements and actions in response to sensory stimuli.
By understanding the principles of sensory processing and providing appropriate sensory experiences and supports, individuals can enhance their sensory development and build essential skills for navigating the world effectively.
