Overview of the the course contents.
Along with the five well-known senses, there are three more important senses: proprioception, vestibular, and interoception.
Sensory processing and integration are essential in everything we need to do daily, such as getting dressed, eating, moving around, socialising, learning and working. Learn how these systems work.
Sensory processing differences are variations in how the brain receives, interprets, and responds to sensory information from the world around us.
Sensory modulation is our brain's ability to turn up or turn down the level of sensory input it receives.
Sensory discrimination is our brain's ability to make sense of the qualities of sensory input.
Discover the impact of sensory processing and integration differences and how to recognise them.
Here you can download case studies to illustrate how sensory differences can impact people across the lifespan.
