Does your child have Sensory Processing Disorder? If you can answer yes to at least two of the following, it is likely that he or she does.
__My child seemed different from other children almost from birth, but our doctor cannot
tell me why.
__My child feels different from other children and tends to isolate himself or herself from
them.
__My child seems behind in development even though no medical or developmental
condition has been identified that would cause a delay.
__Teachers say my child doesn’t respond like the other students in classroom and
playground situations.
__I’ve noticed that my child doesn’t respond to some sensations (touch, sound, smell,
taste, movement, or others) the way the rest of the family or other children the
same age do.
__My neighbor/friend/relative who has a child with Sensory Processing Disorder told me
I ought to have my child screened for the condition.
__When I read the “Red Flags” for SPD, I recognized my child’s behavior in at least one of the subtypes. Follow this link for the Red flags for SPD>>
__My child has screened positive for sensory issues at a kindergarten round-up, well-
child visit, or in another evaluative situation.
__I feel something’s wrong with my child, but I don’t know what it is.
__My child feels like something’s wrong with him or her, and that’s causing low self-
confidence and self-esteem.
