Making Sense of SPD: Diagnosis & Treatment For Sensory Processing Disorder

Think your child’s behaviour could be Sensory Processing Disorder?
For many parents it can be such a relief to finally find some answers and explanation as to why their child deals with sensory information in a different way to them. After much desperation and stress finding that SPD symptoms fit with their behaviour is reassuring, especially to ease any unneccessary worries that their parenting skills are at fault.

Have you read that SPD isn’t real? Let’s look at the evidence!
You may have found this explanation but soon after been disheartened to read various views that SPD is not a real disorder. For many parents of a child with SPD, such as yourselves, know that their behaviours are not ‘just a phase’, ‘something they will grow out of’, or ‘naughty behaviour’ that needs stricter discipline. In this book we look to the research and evidence behind SDP and how it affects your child.

Did you know that very often children with SPD do not have an autistic spectrum disorder?
Unlike many others that cover Sensory Processing Disorder, this book looks solely at SPD in children and adults without other common disorders such as ADHD, Autism and Aspergers.
