Sensory Processing Disorder Resources

There are a lot of different websites and organizations who are dedicated to sensory processing disorder, autism, ADHD & anxiet that provide valuable information, educational materials and support. Research organizations that are available in your country or region for local resources. Your child's therapist, pediatrician or local school could provide you with some local in-person support groups. These local groups provide a chance for face-to-face interaction in your own community. 

Occupational therapists (OTs) design and implement sensory integration therapy, which will help your child learn to better process and respond to sensory input. Consult with your child's your pediatrician or doctor for referrals to pediatric occupational therapists who are experienced in treating sensory differences. 

Ask your child's occupational therapist about different therapeutic approaches used by OTs for sensory processing disorder such as implementing a sensory diet, sensory tools or sensory activities. Understanding sensory strategies can help you better support your child at home.

There are so many incredible websites and blogs offer valuable information on OT techniques and sensory strategies for managing sensory processing disorder. Always consult with your child's OT to ensure any strategies you implement are appropriate for their specific needs.

Raising a child with sensory difficulties will require different parenting skills and strategies. These resources can help you navigate many aspects of parenting. There are sensory processing books and articles that focus on positive parenting strategies, behavior management techniques and building strong family relationships, all of which are very helpful for families dealing with sensory processing disorder.

When utilizing resources that are available such as parent support groups, occupational therapy and general parenting resources, you and your family can empower yourselves to better understand, manage and support your child who has sensory differences. Remember to advocate for your child's needs and build a strong support network around you. 

DISCLAIMER: I have learned a lot over the years but I am still learning. Always do your own research and exercise sound judgment. I am not an occupational therapist or a physician. I am an adult who has sensory processing disorder, a sensory parent and a Grandma. The information on this website is not medical advice and does not replace the information that your child's therapists or medical professionals give you. These are just ideas that I have learned myself over the years of being a parent and an adult living with SPD. If you are concerned for your child, please always seek medical attention through a family doctor, pediatrician or therapist. This website is for awareness purposes only. Each child is different and what works for one child may not for another because all children have different sensory needs. Please always consult with a medical professional.
