Auditory Processing is what the brain does with what we hear
Sensory Processing and Sensory Integration are keys for how we engage and participate in our daily activities
Rhythm and Timing is how we organise, sequence and perform our tasks and activities in our day with success.

Children who have had a history of ear infections or chronic middle ear fluid are at a higher risk for having difficulties in auditory perception and processing.
For people with organisational, attention and planning difficulties, an underlying difficulty is often with Sensory Integration, Sequencing, Rhythm and Timing aspects of their processing. The difficulties may be grouped as a Praxis difficulty.
