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.</p><p>"If you're the parent, teacher, relative or friend of a sensory kid, <em>The Sensory Processing Diet </em>will give you unique insight into his or her world. Reading it was a breath of fresh air, as I could relate to so many of her parenting struggles and found her recommended interventions to be both doable and helpful."<br /> -- CAMERON KLEIMO, sensory mom</p><p>"Chynna Laird has written a sensational book about a little known disorder, but one that is becoming increasingly more identified in children. As a child psychologist, I found the book to be interesting, informative and complete. I recommend it highly to parents and professionals. I loved it."<br /> --LAURIE ZELINGER, PhD, ABPP, RPT-S, board certified psychologist, author of <em>Please Explain "Anxiety" to Me </em></p><p>"I work with many children in play therapy that also experience sensory issues. <em>The Sensory Diet </em>gives an in-depth look at contributors to SPD, what types of treatments are available and adjustments families can make so that a child with SPD can cope in life in a way that he/she hasn't understood before. I wholeheartedly recommend it to therapists and parents."<br /> --JILL OSBORNE, EDS, LPC, CPCS, RPTS, author of<em> Sam Feels Better Now!</em></p><p><strong>CHYNNA LAIRD</strong> - is a mother of four, a freelance writer, blogger, editor and award-winning author.

Chynna does an incredible job of taking a complex neurological condition and breaking it down in a way that is accessible and easy to understand. Based on her experience as a parent of a child with sensory needs, Chynna gives tangible and practical advice for mitigating the effects of sensory processing issues. Reading it was a breath of fresh air, as I could relate to so many of her parenting struggles and found her recommended interventions to be both doable and helpful. <em>The Sensory Processing Diet</em> is my new 'Bible' for all things sensory processing. Thank you, Chynna, for this amazing resource."<br /> -- Cameron Kleimo, sensory mom</p><p>"Chynna Laird has written a sensational book about a little known disorder, but one that is becoming increasingly more identified in children. She deconstructs the mystery of Sensory Processing Disorder and shares information from both a scientific and personal point of view. As a child psychologist, I found the book to be interesting, informative and complete. It offers a wide range of information and resources, as well as a level of detail that will be appreciated by the reader. I recommend it highly to parents and professionals. I loved it."<br /> --Laurie Zelinger, PhD, ABPP, RPT-S, board certified psychologist, author of <em>Please Explain "Anxiety" to Me</em></p><p>"I work with many children in play therapy that also experience sensory issues. This is a comprehensive and practical resource, both for parents and for those who help children experience sensory processing disorder (SPD). The author gives an in depth look at contributors to SPD, what types of treatments are available and adjustments families and children can make so that a child with SPD can cope in life in a way that he/she hasn't understood before. I whole heartedly recommend <em>The Sensory Processing Diet</em> to therapists and parents." <br /> --Jill Osborne, EDS, LPC, CPCS, RPTS, author of <em>Sam Feels Better Now!</em></p><br>
