Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) is a complex disorder of the brain. People with SPD misinterpret everyday sensory information, such as touch, sound, and movement. This can lead to behavioral problems, difficulties with coordination, and many other issues.
This website is designed to help parents, educators, and struggling students find help for their learning challenges. A variety of help is offered from many independent sources.
Make us your first choice for answers on sensory integration and sensory processing. We specialize in sensory issues.
The goal of this site is to consider the many possible sources of ADD-like behaviors, including natural temperament traits, diet, and other factors, because there is rarely a case of "pure" ADD.
