The Structure and Function of Sensory Processing Disorders:Working to Benefit from ADD/ADHD to Autism

In "The Structure and Function of Sensory Processing Disorders", Charles Chapple opens by explaining what Sensory Processing Disorders are: any condition which demonstrates the inability to process information through the Senses. The problem is that the DMSR does not recognize this sensory component in Autism (ASD). Chapple then goes over how we uses senses and what primitive reflexes are and how to gauge the severity os sensory processing disorders. He goes in to great detail on how SPD can affect each of the seven senses, as well as reflexes, and muscle control.

Reaching Sensory Processing Disorders: Working to Benefit ADD/ADHD to Autism through Structure and Function

This Power Point Presentation introduces the importance of the nervous system with its biomechanical relationships to the spine and cranium, and the noninvasive approaches of Chiropractic and Craniosacral therapy for the benefit of individuals struggling with sensory processing concerns and retained primitive reflexes.

Posture and Motor Matter in the Autism Spectrum

Movement influences many aspects of our lives. From development, to mood, to metabolism, to mental clarity, to sleep which influences digestive and immune function, proper motor activity is crucial. Posture guides this motor activity and frequently goes uncorrected among individuals on the spectrum. Learn how this matters, and how chiropractic and craniosacral therapy benefit in the spectrum.

So frequently, sensory processing disorders, ADHD to autism, are addressed through a variety of behavioral and biochemical approaches; this can result in the significance of the biomechanical aspects of these conditions being underestimated.

Getting home from Disney and after thoughts

We made it home despite some major unexpected circumstances (we missed our plane and had to spend an extra 5 hours in the airport). The kids did really well, I was proud of their good attitutes. A few people moved away from Kyle after awhile, but it wasn't his fault - it was them. He was a little stimmy watching the planes and the tram that goes back and forth between terminals. And he chatters in the unintelligible sing songy voice.
