Historical Evolution of SPD A. Jean Ayres, PhD, OTR, sensory integration pioneer,
developed the theory, assessment and treatment methods for sensory integration dysfunction

Lucy Jane Miller, PhD, OTR studied under Jean Ayres and has
furthered the work through her sensory research, education,
and treatment

Terminology
Originally termed sensory integration dysfunction
New terminology of sensory processing disorder adopted
![Page 6: Making Sense Out of Sensory Processing Disorder · Making Sense Out of Sensory Processing Disorder Kay Kopp, OTR/L Tanyia Schier, MS,OTR/L . ... Quality of life is key in understanding](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042400/5f0f59737e708231d443b828/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
SPD Definition
A neurophysiologic condition in which sensory input either from the environment or from one’s body is poorly detected, modulated, or interpreted and/or to which atypical responses are observed. (Miller 2013)
![Page 7: Making Sense Out of Sensory Processing Disorder · Making Sense Out of Sensory Processing Disorder Kay Kopp, OTR/L Tanyia Schier, MS,OTR/L . ... Quality of life is key in understanding](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042400/5f0f59737e708231d443b828/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Indicators of SPD include inappropriate or problematic motor, behavioral, attentional, or adaptive responses following or anticipating sensory stimulation
![Page 8: Making Sense Out of Sensory Processing Disorder · Making Sense Out of Sensory Processing Disorder Kay Kopp, OTR/L Tanyia Schier, MS,OTR/L . ... Quality of life is key in understanding](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042400/5f0f59737e708231d443b828/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Sensory differences are only considered a “disorder” when they cause significant difficulties with daily routines and tasks (e.g. individual can’t cope or compensate)
Quality of life is key in understanding the significance of sensory impact on an individual

Etiology
Exact cause of SPD is not identified but preliminary studies suggest a role of:
Genetics
Prenatal/birth complications
Environmental factors

SPD in Medical Community
Not recognized as a formal medical dx at this time – came close in ICD-10 formulation
Sensory differences are included in DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for ASD
Included in the Diagnostic Manual for Infancy and Early Childhood -
Section I – Primary Diagnosis: Axis I: Regulatory-Sensory Processing Disorders

8 Sensory Systems
Auditory Visual
Taste Smell
Touch
Vestibular System sense of position & movement
Proprioceptive System
joint & muscle sense

Variability with SPD
Sensory differences can impact any individual sensory system or multiple senses. Individual can have mixed responses –
across sensory systems:
e.g. under-respond to touch input but over-respond to auditory input
within sensory systems:
e.g. be over-responsive to light touch and craver of deep touch

Incidence of SPD
Present in children and adults
5 - 16% of typically developing children
70 – 90% children and adults with ASD have impairments in sensory processing
40 – 60 % with ADHD have SPD

Difference between
ADHD and SPD
ADHD is more impulsive
ADHD has anxiety specific to social concern, not sensory aspects
SPD and ADHD have similar reactions to initial stimulus, ADHD habituates, SPD does not

Current Research on SPD
Children affected with SPD have quantifiable differences in brain structure
For the first time shows a biological basis that sets it apart from other neurodevelopmental disorders.
(Shivani Desai, BS, Emily Fourie, BS, Julia Harris, BS, and Susanna Hill, BS, all of UCSF, and Anne Arnett, MA, of the University of Denver, 2013)

Current Research on SPD
Children with SPD have decreased structural brain connection in specific sensory areas different than those in autism

Evidence-Based Practice
There is extensive and ongoing research on the efficacy of occupational therapy for the intervention of sensory integration
In 2007, a randomized controlled study of “The Effectiveness of Occupational Therapy for Children with Sensory Modulation Disorder” demonstrated that OT-SI was effective. Miller, L.J., Coll, J.R., & Schoen, S.A. (2007).
The Sensory Processing Disorder Foundation is the first organization to operate a full-time program of research into SPD
