Foreword writer, Dr. Lucy Jane Miller's name is synonymous with sensory research, education, and treatment. She is the founder of the first comprehensive SPD research program and author of the groundbreaking books Sensational Kids and No Longer A SECRET. Thanks specifically to Dr. Miller's mobilization of the research community, SPD now appears in two diagnostic manuals and her application has led to consideration of SPD for inclusion in the 2013 revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-V). Dr. Miller has also developed seven nationally standardized tests for use worldwide to assess and diagnose SPD and other developmental disorders and delays.
She has been featured on NBC's Today Show and ABC's 20/20, in The New York Times and numerous other popular and professional publications. She is the author of more than sixty articles and/or chapters in scientific and professional journals, magazines, and textbooks and is a frequent presenter or speaker at conferences and workshops worldwide.
In 2004, Dr. Miller received the Award of Merit from the American Occupational Therapy Association, the profession's highest honor, reserved for those therapists who have made an outstanding global contribution to the field. In 2005, she was awarded the Martin Luther King Jr. Humanitarian award.

This is a great read for parents of children with SPD. I usually don't read books like this, but I found some interesting tips as well as how each parent coped with their child's disability. Sometimes we, as parents, feel like we are alone and are the only one going through it. Highly recommend reading this book.
