Sensory Regulation

Also known as: Sensory Modulation, Sensory Processing Management

The ability to manage and respond appropriately to sensory input from the environment. People with conditions such as autism, ADHD, migraines, or sensory processing disorders may experience heightened sensitivity to light, sound, temperature, or touch. Smart home technology can support sensory regulation by enabling automatic adjustments to lighting levels, noise, and temperature, helping create controlled environments that prevent sensory overload.
