What is the link between Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) and ADHD?

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) and ADHD often occur together, but they are separate conditions. ADHD is primarily characterised by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, while SPD involves difficulties in processing sensory information. Children with both conditions may appear restless, have trouble focusing, or seek constant movement. Identifying both is important, as treatment strategies may need to address sensory regulation as well as attention skills.
