What is Sensory Processing? (updated 2024)

My goal is to help you understand sensory processing, which can help your homeschool become more sensory-balanced. You’ve probably already heard about the 5 Basic Sensory Systems:

1. Seeing (Visual)
2. Hearing (auditory)
3. Touch (tactile)
4. Taste (gustatory)
5. Smell (olfactory)

We all know a little bit about these systems. This guide will help

1. Introduce 3 more senses talked about less frequently
2. Understand how the systems interact with each other
3. Explain how the systems impact our homeschool
