Understanding Sensory Modulation: What It Means for Your Child?
Did you know your child’s brain is like a traffic controller, deciding which sensory signals need a green light and which need a red? This process is called sensory modulation—it’s how the brain regulates its activity to help kids stay focused, calm, and ready to engage.
For example, when your child is playing at the park, their brain might amplify important sensory input, like balancing on the slide, while filtering out less important signals, like background noise. But when sensory modulation isn’t working smoothly, your child might feel overwhelmed, distracted, or struggle to stay calm.
If your child often feels “too much” or “not enough,” you’re not alone. Understanding sensory modulation is a step toward finding the support they need! 🩷
