[quote=Anonymous][quote]Why not address the root of these problems, and not just the symptoms? Why not learn how to create a more supportive home enviornment that can reduce the symptoms? What efforts at home have already been tried?[/quote]

I’m the PP you’re responding to.  Perhaps you missed it in my lengthy post but we met with NIH researchers, dev peds, psychologists, OT/PT/SLPs and not a single one could identify a single ‘root’ cause of SPD symptoms our kids were exhibiting.  In my extensive research, I couldn’t find any information on what the ‘root’ of these problems other than it is neurological.  Are you saying you know a professional who could identify the “root of these problems”?  Please share.

As far as creating a supportive home environment, do you think people haven’t already tried that before seeking professional help?

Again, I ask, if you don't think SPD is a 'real' disorder, what do you suggest be done with those symptoms that are life impairing but for which there isn't enough evidence for a different diagnosis?
