The Sensory Processing Diet

<p>As a mom of a newly diagnosed child with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) I relentlessly sought experts in SPD as well as top nutritionists biopsychologists and neurologists. I figured that if I understood the major functions of the brain and how it’s supposed to take in process and respond to stimulation I could discover how SPD interferes with these functions. Understanding the whole picture - the combination of body brain and nutritional health - led me to embrace the “Sensory Diet.” In this book I share the keys of a well-balanced nutritional diet and the activities and exercises that truly work. Use the resources in this book to create a whole picture of your own child’s conditions and customize a Sensory Diet for him/her.</p><p>“If you’re the parent teacher relative or friend of a sensory kid <em>The Sensory Processing Diet </em>will give you unique insight into his or her world. Reading it was a breath of fresh air as I could relate to so many of her parenting struggles and found her recommended interventions to be both doable and helpful.”<br />— CAMERON KLEIMO sensory mom</p><p>“Chynna Laird has written a sensational book about a little known disorder but one that is becoming increasingly more identified in children.
