Carol Kranowitz speaking on "Sensory Processing Disorders in the School and Home Environment"

  "Some children are "out-of-sync," withdrawing from physical contact, refusing to participate in everyday activities, or responding in unusual ways to sensations of touch, movement, sight and sound.   These children don't behave as we expect -- not because they WON'T, but because they CAN'T.   The underlying reason is Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), a developmental problem causing inefficient processing of sensory messages that come from their bodies and surroundings.  Through understanding, appropriate therapy, and sensory-motor experiences, hope and help                       are at hand for these children.
