In this episode of the Tilt Parenting Podcast, I’m talking about sensory processing disorder in children with the fabulous Carol Kranowitz, the author of many books about SPD, including The Out-of-Sync Child and The Out-of-Sync Child Grows Up. A former preschool teacher, Carol is passionate about informing people about sensory processing disorder in children and helping parents and educators understand how to recognize and support kids with sensory issues. I read Carol’s book The Out-of-Sync Child when Asher was about four years old, and I immediately had that sense of YES . . . this is what’s going on, so it was a thrill and honor to get to chat with Carol about what sensory processing is, how to recognize it in kids, what it looks like at different ages, as well as to hear Carol’s thoughts on efforts to get SPD fully recognized as a disorder. This is a fascinating conversation with one of the world’s top voices on SPD—I hope you enjoy it!    Things you’ll learn from this episode What sensory processing disorder in children is The 3 types of sensory processing issues: sensory modulation (most common), discrimination issues, and sensory based motor problems How parents can recognize if their child has sensory processing issues The connection between SPD and other neurodifferences such as autism, ADHD, and OCD What to expect for sensory processing disorder in children at different ages   Resources mentioned for sensory processing disorder in children Carol Kranowitz’s website The Out-of-Sync Child by Carol Kranowitz The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun by Carol Kranowitz Star Institute (www.spdstar.org) Jean Ayres (Sensory Integration Global Network) Lucy Jane Miller (founder of the Star Institute) Helping People Accept That Your Child Has SPD (online course at Star Institute) Support the show Connect with Tilt Parenting Visit Tilt Parenting Take the free 7-Day Challenge Read a chapter of Differently Wired Follow Tilt on Twitter & Instagram Learn more about your ad choices.
