Thought I'd share this here, since many of us are dealing with sensory processing disorder and many teachers and even doctors understand so little about it. I need to read it more closely, but am very interested to see SPD being researched seriously. The take away is that the brain scans of kids with SPD showed significantly different functioning from those of kids without SPD.
