Question:

My family is interested in learning more about my son’s anxiety and sensory processing disorder.  Can you provide me with some good resources for family members?

Answer:

It is great that your family is interested in learning more about your son’s difficulties.  My colleague Courtney wrote a great introductory article to anxiety disorders that can be found on our Horizons website, www.horizonsdrc.com under the resources section.  I would encourage your family to read this article.  A book you may want to read is Freeing Your Child From Anxiety by Tamar Chansky.   A wonderful website for sensory processing disorders is www.sinetwork.org .  This website is full of great information and articles on sensory processing disorders.

I hope you find this information helpful,
Erin
