SPD Awareness Month

I recently learned that it is Sensory Processing Disorder Awareness Month.  SPD (and this is the extremely simplified version of an explanation) is usually seen when the individual has trouble processing information received through the senses and often results in over-sensitivity or under-sensitivity to environmental input, or in problems in the vestibular (movement) or proprioceptive(positional) senses.  In recognition of the awareness month, I’ve decided to link to some of my past posts relating to the topic and to a few other blogs.

On the use of music in helping with symptoms and Auditory Integration Therapy: Try a Little Music.

On proprioception: Proprioception and Sensory Integration.

Wilbarger Technique.

SPD/SID and sleep issues: Summer, Sleep and Sensory Integration

And a couple of other bloggers I’ve seen discussing the topic:

Good Fountain

Special Needs Blog

Eamon’s Journey Thru Autism

Anyone else blogging on SPD, please let me know and I’ll add your link!
