SPD Bay Area
Resource Group and SPD-TIPS Group
provide free information, resources and support to Parents.
We help parents learn how to recover a
child diagnosed with Sensory Processing
Disorder (SPD). SPD is also known as
Sensory Integration Dysfunction (SID) or Dysfunction of Sensory
Integration (DSI).
"We
assume miracles arrive like bolts from the blue.
But most real miracles are built arduously, stone by stone, and only
when seen from the perspective of the whole are they revealed to be
miraculous.
For this reason we tend to miss the wonders happening right next to
us, because they are occurring in slow motion and rendered invisible
by the filter of our expectations."
Children with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD)
may suffer from anxiety, depression, aggression, or other behavioral
problems. They may have problems with motor skills and other skills
needed for school success. They may also be socially isolated and
suffer from low self-esteem. Often they get a reputation for being a
"difficult child."
These difficulties put these children at high risk
for many emotional, social, and educational problems, including the
inability to make friends or be a part of a group, a poor
self-concept, academic failure, and being labeled as clumsy,
uncooperative, belligerent, disruptive, or out of control. Parents
may be blamed for their children’s behavior by people who are
unaware of this "hidden handicap."
Effective treatment for SPD is available, but far
too many children with these disorders are misdiagnosed and not
properly treated.
