Sensory Processing Disorder Checklist in Australia | Shine SC It is estimated that 5-16% of school-aged children are affected by sensory processing disorder. According to Psychology Today (this link will take you to the Psychology Today website for additional material), the malfunctioning of the sensory receptors in the nervous system causes sensory processing issues that can lead to intense sensory-seeking behaviour. Sensory processing disorder or SPD for short is a neurological condition that affects the brain’s ability to receive and respond to sensory information. Sensory information tends to be misinterpreted due to this which leads to an altered function in response.
