	Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a neurological condition that affects how the brain processes sensory information from the environment, leading to challenges in performing everyday tasks. It can significantly impact a person's quality of life and commonly co-occurs with other conditions such as autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a neurological condition that affects how the brain processes sensory information from the environment, leading to challenges in performing everyday tasks. It can significantly impact a person's quality of life and commonly co-occurs with other conditions such as autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
