What is another word for sensory processing disorder?
Pronunciation: [sˈɛnsəɹˌi pɹˈə͡ʊsɛsɪŋ dɪsˈɔːdə] (IPA) 
Sensory processing disorder (SPD) is often a misunderstood neurological condition that affects individuals of all ages. Symptoms may include hypersensitivity or hyposensitivity to sensory stimuli, difficulty with fine and gross motor activities, and behavioral challenges. In recent years, researchers and professionals in the field of sensory integration have emphasized the need for a more descriptive and inclusive term to replace SPD. Synonyms commonly used include sensory integration dysfunction, sensory modulation disorder, and sensory discrimination disorder. These terms better capture the range of sensory processing challenges experienced by individuals with the condition. Additionally, using more specific terms can help reduce stigma and encourage better understanding and treatment of this often-overlooked condition.
