[quote=Anonymous][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?

1. How many hours have any of your specialists spent in your home enviornment, engaged in quiet observation?
2. What measures have you tried at home? For how long? Who guided and supported you through the process?
