090: Sensory processing disorder

This episode comes to us courtesy of my friend Jess, whose daughter has Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) and who is on a mission to make sure that as many parents as possible learn about it. She says that every time she describes it to a parent they realize that they know someone who exhibits behavior that looks like SPD that warrants following up. I have to say that I was highly ambivalent about doing this episode, because I don’t usually deal with topics that result in medical diagnoses as I’m (obviously) not a doctor. But the more I looked into this the more I realized that helping parents to understand the mess of research on this topic is exactly the kind of thing that I usually do on this show, and that an episode on this topic could probably be useful to a number of you. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/28/magazine/the-mind-of-john-mcphee.html (And here’s the love letter to John McPhee that I mention in the episode) https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fyourparentingmojo.com%2Fspd%2Fandlinkname=090%3A%20Sensory%20processing%20disorder ()https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/twitter?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fyourparentingmojo.com%2Fspd%2Fandlinkname=090%3A%20Sensory%20processing%20disorder ()https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/pinterest?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fyourparentingmojo.com%2Fspd%2Fandlinkname=090%3A%20Sensory%20processing%20disorder ()https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fyourparentingmojo.com%2Fspd%2Fandlinkname=090%3A%20Sensory%20processing%20disorder ()
