hi my son was recently diagnosed with spd and we are finally getting on the right path. he was born nov 10th 2009 (11/10/09) 7lbs 7oz perfectly healthy aside from a mild chd that has so far only required monitoring. at 8 days old he was rushed to children s legacy hospital and admitted with bacterial meningitis, since then he has been in all types of therapy for tortacolis, and now spd, he also has flat feet and currently using orthotics but will switch to afo's in nov. he is very hyposensitive and im just looking for others who have experiences or are going through the same thing

Sounds like my 4 year old. When she was 2 weeks old, she suffered a traumatic brain injury. She also within the first 6 month of her life was hospitalized for pneumonia, and a UTI. She also like your son has orthotics too. She started receiving therapy and got her diagnosis at 18 months. She is very hyposensitive but has a touch of hypersensitivity. In my daughter's case, her older sister who is 6 1/2 has ADHD and we believe a touch of SPD and she has a younger sister who is 2 and has a severe case of SPD.
