When Your Kid Won't Eat

Sensory processing disorder (SPD) is one of the underlying conditions in Asperger Syndrome, ADHD, Tourette's Syndrome, and many learning disabilities.

Sensory processing issues are usually first noticed when a child is very young. With adequate intervention and training, most children can get rid of their sensory difficulties. As a result, most professional attention has been paid to children with SPD.

But many kids aren’t even diagnosed until they are in the middle school years. These young people have been struggling for years because of bewildering experiences, mistaken diagnoses, and painful failures. They need help too—and it has to come in a form that respects their independence.

This website is dedicated to providing parents of older kids with information on how to help young people with sensory issues.

In easy-to-follow language with lots of fun graphics kids can relate to, this book explains sensory processing problems and helps to empower young adults to take a key role in managing their daily life experiences.” Lindsey Biel, OTR/L, author of Raising a Sensory Smart Child

“My own teenage son commented on how accurate the sensory-seeking checklist described him, and specifically how much he enjoyed the cartoon that read “why don’t they put rides in English classrooms?” Jenny Brack, OTR, author of Learn to Move, Moving Up! Sensorimotor Elementary-School Activity Themes
