The Sensory Processing Diet: One Mom's Path of Creating Brain, Body and Nutritional Health for Children with SPD
Erika
Description
As a mom of a newly diagnosed child with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), I relentlessly sought experts in SPD, as well as top nutritionists, biopsychologists, and neurologists. I figured that if I understood the major functions of the brain, and how it's supposed to take in, process, and respond to stimulation, I could discover how SPD interferes with these functions. Understanding the whole picture - the combination of body, brain, and nutritional health - led me to embrace the "Sensory Diet". In this book, I share the keys of a well-balanced nutritional diet and the activities and exercises that truly work. Use the resources in this book to create a whole picture of your own child's conditions and customize a Sensory Diet for him/her.Read more
