Treatment may include a “sensory diet” wherein activities are introduced in a gentle, fun way in order to ease into a range of sensations. Over time, the goal is to extend these learned, appropriate responses outside of the clinic to home, school, and life. OT-SI uses fun, stimulating activities to challenge patients’ senses without overwhelming them or linking stimulation to feelings of failure. Many therapists use a sensory integration (OT-SI) approach that begins in a controlled, stimulating environment, and focuses on making SPD easier to manage in day-to-day life. SPD treatment often means working with an occupational therapist on activities that help retrain the senses. Sensory processing disorder treatment may involve a combination of therapy and lifestyle changes. The first step on the road to treatment is to determine which senses are over- or under-sensitive. Each person with sensory processing disorder (SPD) has unique needs and sensory difficulties.
