Hi everyone,

I am mom to Sam, who is four years old. Sam was diagnosed with SPD about eight months ago. He receives OT through the school system for a half hour a week. I joined this site because I would like to learn more about the disorder and how I can help him. I also would like some support from other parents who are going through the same thing.

We've really struggled with Sam's behavior over the past couple years and, the more I've read lately, the more I realize that it's related to SPD. I had an epiphany about a week ago and I finally realized that I needed to radically change the way I was parenting. I hope to learn things from other parents to help me parent Sam in the way he needs me to.

On a lighter note, we are a musical family - I play the violin. Sam has perfect pitch and loves to sing Karaoke in our living room
