Is there medication for sensory processing disorder? How can occupational therapy help? What advice can I give my child's teacher? Can you outgrow sensory processing disorder? How can we make social situations less of an ordeal? What are some therapeutic activities I can do with my child?
It is estimated that more than 10 percent of children deal with some form of sensory processing disorder (SPD), a neurological disorder characterized by the misinterpretation of everyday sensory information, such as touch, sound, and movement. For many children, SPD can lead to academic struggles, behavioral problems, difficulties with coordination, and other issues. The Sensory Processing Disorder Answer Book is a reassuring, authoritative reference, providing sound advice and immediate answers to your most pressing questions about SPD, such as:
- What is sensory processing?
- Does SPD affect social skills?
- Can you see sensory processing difficulties in an infant?
- What is Sensory Integration Therapy?
- Is SPD a sign of autism?
- Are there tests for SPD?
