What are the 4 types of sensory processing disorder?

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) can be classified into four broad types:

  1. Sensory Modulation Disorder (SMD): Over- or under-responsiveness to sensory input.
  2. Sensory Discrimination Disorder (SDD): Trouble interpreting sensory differences, such as hot vs cold.
  3. Sensory-Based Motor Disorder (SBMD): Poor balance, coordination, or motor planning.
  4. Postural-Ocular Disorder: Difficulty with balance, posture, and eye movement coordination.
