How do you get a Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) diagnosis?

To get a Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) diagnosis, families usually begin by consulting with a GP, paediatrician, or directly with an occupational therapist. The therapist conducts assessments to identify sensory challenges and how they impact daily life. These findings form the basis of a treatment plan. Since SPD is not in the DSM-5, diagnosis is functional rather than medical, but it is widely accepted in therapy and educational settings.
