How common is sensory processing disorder?

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is more common than many parents realise. Research suggests that up to 1 in 6 children experience sensory challenges significant enough to affect daily life, learning, or social participation. Rates are even higher among children with developmental conditions like autism or ADHD. Because SPD varies in severity, some children may go unnoticed until school age when difficulties with focus, routines, or peer interaction become clearer.
