Recognizing Signs of Sensory Challenges in ADHD

Individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often experience sensory processing issues that can manifest in various ways. These issues can range from hypersensitivity to certain stimuli to seeking sensory input. For example, an individual with ADHD and sensory issues may be extremely sensitive to loud noises or bright lights, or they may crave certain textures or movements. These sensory challenges can be complex and may significantly impact an individual's daily life, from difficulty with sensory integration to trouble focusing on tasks.
At times, these sensory processing issues can be misinterpreted as behavioral or emotional issues, leading to misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment. It is crucial to identify and address these sensory challenges early on to help individuals with ADHD function better in their daily lives. Understanding and addressing sensory processing issues can significantly improve an individual's quality of life, resulting in better focus, reduced stress, and improved behavior.

Testimonials: Hear From Our Families

Dr. De Ocampo is wonderful. She tries many options for our son with ADHD. He is on the milder side of things but she is constantly advocating for him and is great at responding to questions even when we don’t have an appointment.

Dannis M.

Dr. De Ocampo listens and understands the concerns of the child and provides excellent advice as well as great resources to help understand the needs of my child. I’ve already noticed a substantial gain with her grades and her attention is perfect. She’s now an avid reader and taking on assignments with enthusiasm.

Lorraine T.

l wanted to share my thoughts on Dr. Pe Benito. My son was diagnosed with ADHD, and she help dispel some myths and assumptions that I had. She also really took the time to explain what ADHD is to my son in a way that he could understand. Dr. Pe Benito never made my son feel like he wasn't smart enough or talked down to him. She treated him with respect. She explained everything about the meds he might take and what they do and don't do, which helped us make informed decisions.

l have been going to Doctor Pe Benito for years and I have never had a doctor who is so kind and thoughtful. She takes the time to get to know each and every one of her patients and I have been very lucky to have her for so long.

Dr. De Ocampo is by far the best pediatrician we have ever dealt with. We have twins that were adopted from Haiti at the age of 4. One has autism and ADHD and the other has epilepsy and ADHD. She literally has been a Godsend to our family. I recommend her 100%
