I am new to this stuff. My son’s doctor told me about his concerns with my then 7 year old son’s behaviors and how the are similar to children with SPD. I had been under the assumption, all those years, that my son was just being difficult. Even after his make-shift “diagnosis”, I had no information other than the doctor telling me to continue to expose my son to ther things that make him uncomfortable in order to desensitize him. It took a friend of mine, who has two children with SPD, to realize that my son truly has a unique way of viewing what most of us consider normal sensory scenarios. I guess my reason for responding to this is that my son has been reacting to things “oddly” his entire life and he does not have any short comings because of it.

Your daughter is absolutely lovely! My son, who has SPD, did ok in Kindergarten because at our school it was only half a day. First grade was rough, and we had a lot of discipline problems. I spent a LOT of time at the school, not necessarily with him but just being present makes a difference. I know this doesn’t sound great, but I’m just telling you the truth. If the teachers and administrators know you and you gently educate them on SPD (I’m assuming they are like many schools that don’t really ‘get it’) it will make a difference in how they react to her. You have my email now – please reach out if you need any help and I will try my best!

I thank you very much for your article. I’m new to the SPD world and am really trying to find others that can relate. It is comforting that you’ve seen differences with OT. I’m so scared I’m not doing everything I can for my almost 4 year old. We’ve had 4 OT sessions so far and am hoping to get some help from the school social worker for some behavior techniques. He struggles w/ transitions, large social situations, tactile defensive, poor motor planning. I hope we see some positive changes so he can thrive like the awesome kid I know he is!

Maddy is such a beauty – inside and out! I know how much you worry for her, and I know that SPD will force her (and all of you) to tackle some issues that others may not have to deal with, and I wish that weren’t true. But I like to focus on the positive as you said, and I know that Maddy has a strong, smart, proud mamma who always has her back; a dad that adores her; brothers that will always protect her as best as they can (and who have learned so much about compassion and being sentitive to others because of Maddy); and family and friends who love her dearly. Combined with that Maddy personality? Well, she is sure to be a shining star in everything she attempts!!
