Does your child react strongly to noises or smells or textures that other children take in stride? Or does he or she beg for more touch and massage, rocking until he or she is dizzy? This child may be living with a little-known condition called sensory processing disorder (SPD). Kids with SPD may seem unduly sensitive to physical sensations, light, and sound, or they may seek out sensations that might make another child woozy. SPD can make it hard for kids to concentrate in school, engage in social events, and live peaceably with other family members. Until now, there have been only limited resources for parents of kids with this condition, but in this book a child advocate and child psychologist offer a comprehensive guide to parenting a child with SPD and integrating his or her care with the needs of the entire family.
The book describes the symptoms of SPD and offers an overview of what it means to live with and care for a child with the condition. It provides a range of activities that help strengthen family relationships, improve communication about the disorder, and deal with problem situations and conditions a child with SPD may encounter. Throughout, the book stresses the importance of whole-family involvement in the care of a child with SPD, making sure that everyone is given the attention they need. Finally, you'll read real-life stories providing ideas that you can put to work in your own family.
Learn about SPD, its signs, and causes

Parenting a Child with Sensory Processing Disorder
I really enjoyed this book for two reasons: (1) it was easy to understand and follow and (2) it really did focus on family dynamics and relationships in special needs families, specifically those who have a child with Sensory Processing Disorder. Both authors bring different backgrounds and experiences to the table, and the reader benefits greatly from this.
If this wasn't a library book I feel like I would have highlighted large portions of it. While some of it was irrelevant to our family, the bulk of it could be easily applied to any situation where there is a child with Sensory Processing Disorder or other unique needs. I really enjoyed the chapter on siblings and finding the balance between teaching empathy and understanding and giving them too much responsibility whether intentionally or unintentionally. It can be so easy for children to absorb responsibilities that aren't theirs, and it is important to help them remember they aren't a parent.
I recommend this if you are trying to wrap your head around a recent special needs diagnosis or if you are struggling to understand how it changes your family dynamics. The authors are gentle and kind without ever being pushy or know it alls. This is a great read for people new to special needs like us.
