Brain differences found with sensory processing disorders

[healthy11]

Several recent studies, like these from 2013 and 2016, show abnormalities in the white matter microstructure of children with SPD, or Sensory Processing Disorders:

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24179836 says "These findings suggest abnormal white matter as a biological basis for SPD and may also distinguish SPD from overlapping clinical conditions such as autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder."

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26858611 found "White Matter Microstructure is Associated with Auditory and Tactile Processing in Children with and without Sensory Processing Disorder."

On a related note, here's a modified chair design that may help kids with sensory processing issues to concentrate better in school: www.popsugar.com/moms/Teacher-Invents-Special-Chair-Kids-Sensory-Issues-43118429
