For decades, scientists thought that the adult human brain was static and unchanging. But in the last few decades, we have learned that the adult brain is more dynamic than we ever imagined! This short film was created for the Society for Neuroscience 2011 Brain Awareness Video Contest.
Sensory Processing Disorder is a neurological condition that causes some children to be overly seeking or overly sensitive to touch, sounds, tastes, smells, movement, and/or visual stimuli. Sensory Processing Disorder affects 1 in 20 children. Sensory Integration Therapy helps children with Sensory Processing Disorder, ADD/ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and other learning and behavioral challenges. Sensory Integration Therapy helps children live their lives purposely, functionally, and successfully.
