SPD Support Group Welcome!

Dear Parents/Teachers/Administrators/Therapists:

Hello! My name is Mary Gardner and I’m the mother of an 9 year old boy who has had sensory issues. We have been through many trials and difficult times understanding what his needs are and now I feel like we’ve got a great handle on his issues and I’m happy to support other families who are struggling to learn how to accommodate their son or daughter.

I would like to invite you to start your own group hereunder GROUPS for local resources, support meetings and information.

Please forward this site and information on to any parent who has a child who has Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), ADHD, ADD, is on the AUTISM SPECTRUM or is a bit out of the box and you’re just a bit in the dark about what to do to help.

Chemical Free Household

As most of you may know, household chemicals are becoming more and more researched as the cause to many of Americans health issues today. The very cleaning products and detergents that were designed and marketed to keep us safe from germs, viruses, bacteria and other ailments are actually harming our health.

A great website to train your brain is lumosity.com An app is also available for the Iphone.



Do you know that I met a lady whose child received a tetanus shot at age 12 and now can no longer speak.

Sleep is Essential

How many of us are effective on little amounts of sleep? How about sending a child to school on Monday morning after a crazily booked weekend??

We paid for it... Monday morning was a bit tough and school wasn't as smooth.

Staying in may not be as fun, but it certainly makes things a lot easier on the family wh… Continue
