Bayleigh,

Thank you so much for sharing your story. My son has SPD and at first it was very difficult for me to understand what that ment. With articles like this and lots of help from OT and his doctors I am quickly learning how I can support him, I hope one that my son will say I helped him as your mom helped you.

God Bless!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. My daughter is 13 months, and we’ve been aware of her SPD since she was 9 months. Some days I just wish she was able to tell us what she was going through so we could understand. I am constantly reminding myself that though it’s tough for us, it’s just as tough (or more tough) for her. I hope that my daughter will one day share her story with others the way you have. You are an inspiring young woman!

Bayleigh- Thank you! Thank you! for sharing this story. I started crying as I read this. My 4 year old son struggles daily, we have just finally got a diagnosis after years of being told he was just a difficult child. Your story gives me so much hope. I hope you are proud of yourself, for all that you have overcome. Thank you again for Sharing!!!

Your testimony is an inspiration to my family. My 6-year old daughter is in the process of being tested for SPD. She’s also a cheerleader. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Bayleigh for your story. I am the mom of a 19, almost 20 year old daughter who has overcome being profoundly deaf and I am the mom of a newly diagnosed 4 year old with sensory issues. My beautiful little girly girl cannot put on socks and shoes, hates her car seat and will only wear certain things. We have such a hard time in the morning getting dressed and ready for our day. She has started occupational therapy just this past month and we are “brushing”, but I was hoping for a “quick fix”. I know I won’t get it and I have to be patient. Reading your story has helped me to understand that she too will get through this, just like you did and how my older daughter has risen above her inability to hear to be successful. You are a very beautiful and brave girl and I wish you only the best. Thank you again for sharing.

Thank you for writing your story Bayleigh. My granddaughter is 8 now and has quite the challenges everyday. We are all working with her, including her much loved OT, Kelly. It is encouraging for us to know that with hard work, love and support our Julia will be just fine. Best of all things to you!
