Recovering your child From Sensory Processing Disorder (spd)
On today’s show we talk about Sensory Processing Disorder in children.
Children with sensory processing disorder issues have great difficulty processing and acting upon information received through their senses.
Sensory Processing Disorder isn’t a true diagnosis, yet, because it is not a standalone diagnosis in the DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition). However, most children with autism have it, and many children with ADD/ADHD, PANS/PANDAS and Lyme disease also have it. It can also be a standalone disorder, meaning that a child is over- or under-sensitive to lights, sounds, motions, tastes, smells and more.
The good news is that children CAN recover from it and Maria is a great example of someone that made that possible for her sons.
