[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting.  I never bought into the SPD thing.  My child had sensory stuff going on but I went first to a developmental pediatrician.  We do OT after a diagnosis and in combination with other things, but I wouldn't have imagined going to just an OT for therapy first since I guess I just assumed sensory stuff was part and parcel of a bigger picture.  In our case, it was ADHD and the diagnosis was not in the least surprising.[/quote]

I agree with this.  WE got a worthless diagnosis of SPD after a well-known "SPD expert" saw our family and DC for only 30 min. asking questions.  THen our referring pediatrician had to hound the specialist for 3 months to get the "SPD" report.  She was disgusted and threw it away.  Another expensive course of testing not compensated by insurance.  There are truly too many whackos in this field who want to find a diagnosis everywhere in everyone.[/quote]
Wondering what background the so called SPD expert had?[/quote]
