Don't forget to stop by Lucas's Journey with SPD to enter the 30 Giveaways in 30 Days and also check out Hartley's Life with 3 Boys to read 30 Stories in 30 Days, guest blogs from 30 different families about their experiences with an SPD child.
We all get only one life -- this is mine! It's my life as a wife and homeschooling mom to an elementary school boy with Sensory Processing Disorder and a "neurotypical" preschooler, and it is sensational!
Thanks for joining me along the journey! I'd love to hear what you want to know ... do you have questions about sensory processing disorder, gluten-free/dairy-free diets, homeschooling, faith, life in general? Send me a note or post a comment and I'll try to write something that addresses your interests and questions!

30 SPD Facts in 30 Days -- Fact #20
Diagnosis of Sensory Processing Disorder usually begins with screening, which is basically a professional search for red flags that indicate enough differences in development to warrant a more comprehensive assessment. If differences exist that are sufficient to warrant further assessment, evaluation will follow. In addition to standardized assessment, all comprehensive OT evaluations include detailed observations in a clinical setting to assess real-life movement and reactivity to stimulation. Most also include detailed interviews with parents and teachers. (From SPD Foundation's website)

I have really enjoyed reading all of these. I posted #10 on my blog with links back to your blog so that I can help raise awareness. #10 has been a big hurdle for my son.
