What Every Parent Needs To Know: Love, nurture and play with your child

We went over some of the major sensory red flags in this post, but don’t forget to print out this list of 21 sensory red flags you could be overlooking . Parents are often startled to learn that some of the behaviors on this list are also caused by sensory processing issues, especially if they are aware of some of their child’s sensory issues. Keep in mind, however, that these two diagnoses may coexist. It’s completely conceivable that a youngster suffers from both ADHD and SPD and was misdiagnosed. That’s why, in our RISE with Sensory course, I teach parents how to identify and treat their children’s individual needs.

Miranda Thomas is a teacher and Toby Young is the founder of one of the earliest free schools (which are not bound by the national curriculum). Young used to be a professional contrarian, made famous by his book How to Lose Friends & Alienate People. But in this puzzler of a book, the tone of Young's usual voice – aggressive, confident, annoying, fun – is inaudible; instead, the writing is twee, sometimes unbearably so. "Try not to burst into tears when you drop them off on their first day. Crying can be contagious and you don't want to set off the other parents!" Yet Young's rebarbative tone is more than merely absent, it creates a palpable silence: this book is certainly full of opinions, yet they are not delivered as such. Instead, they are delivered as facts – kind, gentle facts. And this makes it completely maddening.Of fact, even though SPD isn’t a “official” diagnosis, many professionals, including physicians, are aware of it. If you often tell your child to 'calm down', 'quieten down', or 'sit still', and they make an unusual amount of noise and mess, they may be exhibiting traits of ADHD. Children with ADHD sometimes talk excessively and may lose their train of thought or the sequence of a story they are trying to tell. They often speak in a stream of consciousness, jumping between thoughts and topics.

However, as an occupational therapist, I was able to link huge emotional reactions, social interaction problems, and/or impulsive conduct in children with ADHD to sensory processing issues.

That’s a wonderful question to ask yourself, as well as your kid’s doctor and any other experts with whom your child interacts. If you feel that your child’s troubles might be explained only by an SPD diagnosis, I’d consider scheduling a comprehensive sensory processing evaluation with an expert occupational therapist. When children seek sensory stimulation, they often strive to gain more and more of a specific experience. They’re often regarded as rambunctious, inattentive, and incapable of following instructions.

However, even if a kid with ADHD does not have any sensory difficulties, sensory activities and tools may be extremely helpful in calming and focusing them. Occupational therapists assess children for sensory processing issues and, if necessary, provide the “unofficial” SPD diagnosis. Whether or not a kid has ADHD should have no influence on whether or not they are diagnosed with SPD. As a professional who works with families, Dr. Sunderland is attuned to the struggle of parents juggling lives at work and at home. This second edition of The Science of Parenting provides newly added, invaluable advice on making the most of your time with your child, so that you can forge a strong bond and have a positive relationship.Sensory difficulties occur when the brain over- or under-processes sensory inputs, or when the information is lost in route. Unlike other reviewers, I didn't find the discipline chapter too harsh at all. In fact, the outlook and methodologies here fell completely in line with what I have found to be effective in my years of teaching. I’ll be referring to it whenever I need a refresh on behaviour management. That implies that the correct sensory exercises, sensory integration therapy, or a sensory-based treatment plan might have a huge influence on those issues, as well as others in their daily lives.
