𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴?
Sensory processing refers to how the nervous system receives, organizes, and interprets sensory input from the body and environment to support participation in daily occupations. When sensory input is processed efficiently, children can attend, move, learn, and regulate emotions. When processing is inefficient, functional challenges may appear in areas such as attention, behavior, motor coordination, or self-regulation.

𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆:
Sensory challenges are not behavioral choices. They reflect differences in neurological processing that impact functional performance.

𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:Observe how sensory input affects participation before selecting strategies. Match supports to the child’s sensory needs, not the behavior alone.

Starting Monday, area schools will be on break for two weeks. We understand that this can be difficult for some families, as there are extra expenses this time of year, and children eating meals at home more often can put additional stress on grocery budgets.

The TUFF Bags team recognizes this, and we are here to help! On Monday, December 22 from 9:00am-10:00am and 2:00pm-3:00pm we will open our doors at the TUFF Bags warehouse, located at 1060 Cookson Ave SE New Phila, for families to pick up extra food bags.
