Significant sensory processing difficulties must be identified by a medical professional.\r\nWhether a Paediatrician, Occupational Therapist, Speech and Language Therapist or\r\nPhysiotherapist, these professionals have had experience and additional training in this\r\nfield. The Diagnostic Statistics Manual-V (DSM-V) has not recognised ‘Sensory Processing\r\nDisorder’ as a standalone diagnosis.\r\nThis guidance document provides up-to-date information on the nature of sensory\r\nprocessing differences / difficulties, and the impact they can have on the lives of children\r\nand young people. It provides information on a number of safe interventions for individual\r\nchildren and young people, and groups. There are also recommendations regarding the\r\ncreation of appropriate learning environments for those experiencing these difficulties.
