Meghan's World: The Story of One Girl's Triumph over Sensory Processing Disorder - Tapa dura

MEGHAN'S WORLD is a true story about one girl's triumph over Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). The story validates children's feelings and offers parents and teachers a look into the world of a child suffering from SPD. This book was inspired by Meghan's first school show and her behaviors before, during, and after the event. The story briefly explains the therapies Meghan did to help her overcome SPD and lists resources for reference. MEGHAN'S WORLD ends with an "About Me" page so parents can start a dialogue with their child - leading to insight about their own child's needs and wants. This book is a great book for children with diagnoses on the autism spectrum. It helps to promote understanding and social growth. Parents and teachers can help their children/students grow into their own accomplishments by learning how Meghan has dealt with the following issues: *Sensory Modulation * Sound Sensitivity * Social Insecurity *Hypo/Hyper-Responsiveness * Tactile Defensiveness * Visual Perception * Sensory Processing * Allergies/Food Intolerance

Diane M. Renna resides in Long Island, New York, with her husband Lorenzo, and their children, Meghan, Michael, and Gavin. Since Meghan's diagnosis, Diane read and learned all she could about SPD. She never complained or gave up hope. She investigated and tried alternative therapies with the vision of helping her children. Diane has dedicated her time to helping children with SPD and feels passionately about the subject. She wants to reach and help as many families as possible. SPD is no longer a jail-keeper to the Renna family. They hope Meghan's story will inspire and heal other families dealing with SPD.
