Understanding Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) and How Sensory-Friendly Clothing Can Help
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) affects how the brain processes sensory information, like touch, sound, and light. For kids with SPD, certain stimuli can feel overwhelming (sensory avoiding) or they may seek out more intense sensations (sensory seeking). Everyday experiences, including clothing, can become uncomfortable or even distressing.
Sensory Avoiding vs. Sensory Seeking
**Sensory Avoiders**
often dislike tight or scratchy fabrics, seams, or tags. These children might refuse to wear clothes that feel irritating.
**Sensory Seekers**
crave more sensory input and may prefer snug-fitting clothes or those with heavier textures.
How Sensory Clothing Can Help
Sensory-friendly clothing is designed to reduce discomfort and provide support for children with SPD.
Here's how it can make a difference:
**Soft Fabrics:**
Gentle, breathable materials prevent irritation and help kids feel comfortable all day.
**Flat Seams and Tag-Free Design:**
Reducing friction from seams and removing scratchy tags helps eliminate common discomforts that bother sensory-sensitive children.
**Flexible Fit:**
Options like no-heel socks and comfortable waistbands provide a non-restrictive fit for sensory seekers and avoiders alike.
