What are the Signs of SPD: Sensory Processing Disorder Signs

August 29, 2019 by jennifer 9 Comments

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) affects five to ten percent of all children – an average of one child in every classroom.

Imagine having a child who finds hugs unbearable, or a child who throws temper tantrums virtually every time he or she is taken to a restaurant or store, or a child who refuses to eat.

    This sounds like aspergers…..bathe your child in an Epsom salts bath every day at bedtime to assist and eat foods rich in zinc – my son, now 17, suffered from all this and was only diagnosed at 14! Despite visiting done of the ” best” doctors in Jo’burg!!!

      Does Epson salts help? I’ve never heard of it but I’m willing to try anything. I have a 4 year old with spd and my 16 year old was diagnosed finally with aspergers at 15. I’m currently researching essential oils and hope to get my teen off all these meds

        The FDA won’t allow me to make medical claims… but what I can tell you is I have multiple friends with sensory kids who swear by the benefits of essential oils. I know we’re loving them in our house!

          Essential oils are great to help with calming and sleeping. My younger brother suffers from SPD and they assist him. Me myself have never been diagnosed with it yet find myself exhibiting symptoms associated with SPD both as a child and now into adulthood. I find calm kids by springfields aromatherapy helps me a lot it can be found in your local health food store.

    Epsom salts are a type of magnesium which clams the muscles and nervous system. If you can get them or even if you can a good magnesium supplement and b group supplement will do the same but take before bed.

    Im trying to find out how to get my son tested for this. He’s had alot of signs for this since he was young. They think Autism, he was tested n they said no. But I know he has this n is having alot of trouble at school. Can’t get extra help because they say he doesn’t have Autism. Can’t some one just test for this

      A pediatric occupational therapists that works with kids on the spectrum should be able to test for Sensory Processing Disorder – by doing a full assessment, they’ll be able to tell you what your child is hyper or hypo sensitive to.
