How Sensory Processing affects your child’s development
By Aneesa Kathrada
All the information in our environment comes to us through our sensory systems. We are all aware of the senses involved in taste, smell, touch and sound. However our nervous system also senses movement, force of gravity and the position of our body parts. All of these systems are critical in helping us function in everyday life.
The theme for Mental Health Week in Queensland is 'Be active, get connected, stay
involved’.
Mental health is a state of wellbeing. It’s not just the absence of illness,
but also the ability to maintain relationships, cope with stress, contribute to the
community and enjoy life. Unfortunately not everybody experiences good mental health
all of the time.
