Help Us Help those living with the anguish of Sensory Processing Disorder
Your frequent and generous support helps us make a difference in the lives of the millions of children, adults, and families whose daily lives are chronically disrupted by the debilitating symptoms of SPD.
The Impact Your Gifts Make
TREATMENT is our primary purpose, based on research results and tailored on individual needs.
RESEARCH is continuously needed to identify the sources, the symptoms, and the effective treatments of this "hidden handicap."
EDUCATION is imperative so that health-care providers, teachers, and parents will recognize the signs of SPD and know how to respond in the most effective manner possible.
ADVOCACY is essential to assuring that the disorder is identified in diagnostic manuals, accommodated in the schools, and otherwise recognized by professionals, institutions, and organizations.
