Is It Sensory or Emotional? Understanding the Nervous System First

Parents and teachers often hear the terms sensory processing and emotional regulation — but they are not the same thing. In this video, Libby (Speech Pathologist) and David (Occupational Therapist) from Cooee Speech Pathology explain the difference in clear, simple language. We explore: ✔️ What sensory processing really means (how the nervous system takes in sound, light, touch, movement, hunger, tiredness and more) ✔️ The difference between hyper-sensitive and hypo-sensitive responses ✔️ What “sensory thresholds” are and why they matter ✔️ What emotional regulation actually involves (coping, waiting, shifting attention, managing frustration) ✔️ Why sensory processing happens first — and regulation comes after ✔️ Why meltdowns are often a nervous system signal, not behaviour problems Think of it this way: Sensory processing is the input. Emotional regulation is the output. If the input is overwhelming, regulation becomes much harder. When we support sensory needs first, we are not lowering expectations — we are building the foundation that allows children to listen, learn, connect and participate. If you’re noticing: • Big emotions • Frequent meltdowns • Listening difficulties • Fatigue after school • Overwhelm in busy environments You are not alone — and support is available. This video explains how Occupational Therapy and Speech Pathology work together to support the child, the environment, and everyday tasks so children can feel safe in their bodies and confident in their emotions. 📍 Brisbane-based allied health 🌿 Neurodiversity-affirming | Family-centred | NDIS-informed #SensoryProcessing #EmotionalRegulation #OccupationalTherapy #SpeechPathology #NDISBrisbane #ParentSupport
