When Senses Don't Make Sense

"Children who have Sensory Processing Disorder have trouble interpreting touch, sound, smell, and other sensory input. What's a parent to do when a trip to the supermarket, a day at the playground--even a meal or a bedtime cuddle--overloads your child's senses?" This article from Adoptive Families discusses Sensory Processing Disorder and how it effects many of our children. I encourage you to check it out here.

  1. There are some great occupational therapists at Children's Hospital in B'ham who address sensory disorders very well. Their take home plans are usually pretty easy to follow. I know several parents that have been very happy with the results that they get.
