visual (seeing)
auditory (hearing)
tactile (touching)

olfactory (smelling)

What are the different types of sensory disorders?

Sensory Disorders List

Sensory Over-Responsivity.
Sensory Under-Responsivity.
Sensory Craving.
Postural Disorder.

What is a sensory stimulus?

A sensory stimulus is any event or object that is received by the senses and elicits a response from a person. The stimulus can come in many forms such as light, heat, sound, touch, as well as from internal factors.

What are the sensory systems of the body?

What are our 5 senses?

Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Touch: How the Human Body Receives Sensory Information

The Eyes Translate Light into Image Signals for the Brain to Process.
The Ear Uses Bones and Fluid to Transform Sound Waves into Sound Signals.
Specialized Receptors in the Skin Send Touch Signals to the Brain.

What are the 5 senses and their functions?

We see with our eyes, we smell with our noses, we listen with our ears, we taste with our tongue, and we touch with our skin. Our brain receives signals from each of these organs, and interprets them to give us a sense of what’s happening around us.

What are the 8 senses?

They are: 1. Vision, 2. Hearing, 3. Taste, 4. Touch and 5. Smell. However occupational therapists here at Future Steps would like you to be aware that our bodies actually possess EIGHT senses. These are known as Sensory Systems.

What are examples of sensory issues?

Few examples for sensory deficits are presbyopia, cataracts, dry eyes (sight); presbycusis and cerumen accumulation (hearing); dizziness and disequilibrium (balance); and xerostomia (taste).

What are the different types of sensory processing disorders?

Sensory processing disorders have been classified by proponents into three categories: sensory modulation disorder, sensory-based motor disorders and sensory discrimination disorders (as defined in the Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders in Infancy and Early Childhood).

What are the signs of sensory processing disorder?

Some of the signs for Sensory Processing Disorder are: Oversensitivity to one sense, like hearing, touch or taste. Oversensitivity to multiple senses. Under – or over – responding to difficulties regarding sensory processes. Often anxious children or fussy infants.
