Interview with Roya Ostovar, author of The Ultimate Guide to
Sensory Processing in Children: Easy, Everyday Solutions to Sensory
Challenges. Shockingly, 1 in every 20 children experiences
symptoms of Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD Foundation), affecting
their ability to fully participate in everyday life. When sensory
processing is impaired, lights can be too bright, sounds too loud,
and clothes can actually be painful on the skin. In this book,
neuropsychologist Dr. Roya Ostovar helps parents to help their
children. She provides clear explanations, up-to-date research,
step-by-step strategies, and case examples that bring her proven
methods to life.
Lynda Farrington Wilson
Interview with Lynda Farrington Wilson, author of Squirmy Wormy:
How I Learned to Help Myself. This is a wonderful little
children's book about a boy named Tyler, who has autism and SPD.
Together with Tyler, the reader learns about SPD, and what everyday
easy therapies he can do by himself feel better. For instance: "I
feel like running really fast, run run run! Maybe I just need a
s-q-u-e-e-z-e between the couch cushions like a hot dog. Whew! I
feel better." Endorsed by Dr. Temple Grandin, this book is sure to
help many children, who perhaps previously did not even know they
had SPD, lead calmer, richer lives.

Their systems are so overwhelmed that they seem to over-react or
under-respond to everything coming their way. As a parent or
