Little Feet Pediatric Therapy, a provider of specialized pediatric therapy in DC, is excited to announce the release of a new, comprehensive report examining the mental health impacts of sensory processing disorder (SPD) in children. The report highlights critical insights into how SPD affects emotional well being, behavior, and overall mental health, shedding light on the challenges children with SPD face daily and the importance of early intervention.
The report draws on peer reviewed research, offering a deep dive into the complex relationship between sensory processing differences and mental health outcomes. Key elements of the report include an outlining of how this condition can influence both anxiety and depression in children.
“We believe that understanding the full mental health impact of sensory processing disorder is crucial for improving outcomes for children,” said a spokesperson from Little Feet Pediatric Therapy. “This report is not just a call for awareness, but a resource for parents, educators, and healthcare providers to better support children facing these challenges. By recognizing and addressing sensory processing differences earlier, we can reduce their emotional and behavioral toll. This can help children thrive both mentally and socially.”
In particular, this report outlines a number of peer reviewed research papers on the subject. Though the report admits the research in this area is relatively new, the findings aren’t surprising for those who work directly with kids who have sensory processing disorder.
Little Feet Pediatric Therapy’s report also includes an outline of how a pediatric occupational therapist can help kids with sensory processing disorder. This includes strategies for helping children learn to recognize and manage their feelings of overwhelm. Part of this involves creating a “sensory diet,” which they gradually build upon over the course of their therapeutic journey.
The report, titled “How Does Sensory Processing Disorder Affect Mental Health In Kids?” is available through the clinic’s website.
