# Sensory Processing and SPD

In infancy, the development of the sensory systems requires sensory-motor input from primitive reflexes and other neurodevelopmental movements. Because of this connection, we can use neurodevelopmental movements to effectively mature the sensory systems and [address sensory processing disorders](https://moveplaythrive.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=184&catid=72&Itemid=650 "Explore the connection between retained reflexes and sensory processing disorders") (SPD).
