I think of sensory integration as a sliding scale. We all have sensory issues to some extent. It's just a matter of how mild or severe and how much it interferes with every day life. Some kids have other things or diagnoses along with SPD and some just have SPD. My son was diagnosed with SPD in 2008. He also has moderate to severe anxiety.

The OT is definitely the one who is qualified to make the diagnosis and offer treatment ideas. Georgia will definitely benefit from getting OT. He or she will help you with what you can do at home for your daughter.

The stress of recent events may have "triggered" the SPD issues to surface. I would also find a pediatric therapist/psychologist who knows about SPD to help your daughter with these difficult life changes. My son goes to a psychologist once a month and also goes to a social skills group once a week (at the same office). These have helped him greatly. I highly recommend finding one in your area.

Us moms have it made in the worrying department. It's part of the job.

Glad you found us! Welcome!
