Sensory Processing Disorder & Sensory Integration Dysfunction Related Resources

Although I am trying, I recognize that one website alone can never offer everything every visitor is looking for.

This is particularly difficult in the case of sensory processing disorders, as the severity of symptoms and co-morbidity with other related diagnoses makes "comprehensive" some difficult shoes to fill.

It is with this in mind that I turn to my preferred partners for help. I truly want to offer you, the visitor, the most comprehensive experience you can have.

Therefore, I am currently compiling a list of valuable resources that will compliment the information within this site and take you in directions you need to go! Bear with me as I build this list and check back often for frequent new listings.

I truly hope you find the links below helpful in your search for education, understanding and support...
