Sensory processing
Sensory processing is how the brain takes in and interprets sensory input. It affects comfort, focus, and energy.
Definition
People can be more sensitive or less sensitive to sounds, light, touch, or movement. Sensory processing can shift with stress or fatigue. Understanding sensory patterns helps people choose supportive routines. It is not a preference or a choice.
