Sensory Processing Programs & Courses

Jeanette Loftus

Children with sensory processing disorder can experience heightened or reduced sensitivity to sensory input that can lead to challenges in sensory processing, auditory processing and difficulties with sensory motor skills. There are so many different sensory processing and auditory processing programs and courses that are available for parents to help their children with sensory differences improve their sensory processing abilities, auditory skills, and sensory motor skills.

Auditory processing is our brain's ability to process and interpret sounds, particularly speech. Children with auditory processing disorder (APD) find it difficult to understand spoken language and often have difficulties distinguishing sounds in noisy environments too.

There are many different computer based programs that are designed to improve language and auditory processing skills. These programs use different exercises for each child's skill level and they can progress at their own pace. There are many programs to help a child improve their auditory processing, language comprehension and their reading skills.

There are several different listening programs that focus on helping children improve their auditory processing skills. These programs can include a series of exercises that target different aspects of auditory processing like sound discrimination.

There are many different movement-based interventions for children too such as yoga and dance that can be beneficial for children with sensory motor skill difficulties. These interventions use movement and sensory input that can help children with sensory processing, motor planning and coordination.

Children with sensory processing disorder and auditory processing disorder can benefit from various programs and courses that aim to improve their sensory processing abilities, auditory skills and their sensory motor skills too. Parents and caregivers can explore many different programs and courses to find the one that is best for their child's needs.
