Lorenzo is a 3yr old, bright, funny and loving little boy. At Birth he had a stroke which caused seizures. I prayed over my child for him to be healthy happy and safe. Never did I think two yrs later he would start having issues. When Lorenzo turned two he started acting out, Fighting and kicking other kids. I thought he was going through terrible two's. He got kicked out of that daycare , After he went to the second daycare he started doing the same thing plus more. He was climb on the tables and cots, He hit the teacher in the face. ETC.. At that point I was stressed to the max and cried so much.He got kicked out of that daycare as well!!!

I took him to a behavioral therapist where they gave him an OT evaul . Thats the day I found out my son had SPD. When I was first told that I was confused and angry. I wondered why my son!! He's already been through so much.. I'm still new to learning about SPD and I purchased a book called raising a sensory smart child . It's a good book!! As I continue to educate myself I try to educated my son teacher about this disorder. It's hard to take him places but I'm starting to get the hang of it. It feels good to have some where to go where you can talk to someone and they will understand .
