Welcome To Our SPD Community






My name is Jeanette Loftus and welcome to our sensory processing community! This is a place where we can come together and share our experiences, struggles, and triumphs with sensory processing disorder. 

For those who may not be familiar, sensory processing disorder (SPD) is a condition where the brain has difficulty processing and responding to information received through the senses. This can lead to challenges in everyday activities such as eating, dressing, social interactions, and even learning.

As someone who personally has sensory differences, and children who struggle with sensory differences too,  I understand the frustration and isolation that can come with it. Many people with SPD often feel misunderstood and struggle to find support and resources. 



Supporting, learning, sharing and growing together.



That is why I created this community – to provide a safe and understanding space for parents who have children with SPD, as well as individuals who are struggling with sensory difficulties. My two children are now adults (22 & 26) and I am a Grandma to two beautiful grandsons Edison and Ellis. I have been where you are. You are not alone. 


Here, we can openly discuss our unique sensory experiences and learn from one another. We can also share tips and strategies that have helped us cope with our sensory challenges. Whether it's finding the perfect pair of noise-cancelling headphones or discovering a new sensory-friendly activity, we can support each other in finding ways to navigate the world around us.

I also want this community to serve as a platform for education and awareness. Sensory processing disorder is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed, leading to a lack of understanding and support for those who have it. By sharing our stories and knowledge, we can help spread awareness and advocate for our children, ourselves and others with SPD.

This sensory community is for parents, grandparents, family, friends, caregivers, therapists, teachers, professionals, community providers and all others who work with and love neurodivergent children and youth.  

Children that have Sensory Processing Disorder require specialized services, love and a good support team to be successful in home, school and in the community. 

I welcome and encourage everyone to enjoy our community and it's contents, by working together as a team providing consistency in our children's lives, and effectively communicating with each other. I hope to make a real and lasting impact in the lives of children with Sensory Processing Disorder.

As we journey together in this community, let's remember that we are not defined by our sensory challenges. We are unique individuals with valuable perspectives and strengths. Let's celebrate our differences and support each other in our journey towards self-acceptance and growth. Thank you for being a part of this community. You always have a place here.
