  • Making Sense of SPD
    Sensory processing disorder (SPD) is a disorder that has just recently garnered public attention, having been called the next attention deficit disorder by TIME magazine in 2007. However, it has been a part of occupational and physical therapy for many years prior, because despite how many people know about it, SPD is a real and serious condition. And if your child has it, all you want to know are the facts — what exactly SPD means and how to help your child.
  • Maltreatment of Children With Disabilities (Roberta A. Hibbard, Larry W. Desch, and the Committee on Child Abuse and Neglect, and Council on Children With Disabilities – May 2007)
    Widespread efforts are being made to increase awareness and provide education to pediatricians regarding risk factors of child abuse and neglect. The purpose of this clinical report is to ensure that children with disabilities are recognized as a population that is also at risk of maltreatment. Some conditions related to a disability can be confused with maltreatment.

  • Rocking the Cradle: Ensuring the Rights of Parents with Disabilities and Their Children (National Council on Disability)
    The desire to become a parent traverses all cultural, physical, and political boundaries. However, for people with disabilities — including intellectual and developmental, psychiatric, sensory, and physical disabilities — this innate desire has long been forestalled by societal bias. Today, people with disabilities continue to encounter significant legal, medical, and familial resistance to their decision to become parents.This opposition has profound and disconcerting roots.
