Most moms worry about giving birth to a healthy baby while pregnant. Not me, I went through those nine months without a care in the world but earned my worry stripes at delivery. Thankfully my son did well enough to go home with me after a short stint in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Children with disabilities are my inspiration. It's real life. It's what goes on every day. The people in my life inspire me such as my adopted son with autism and my special education students at school. I was once told that my son, Terry, would never speak in full sentences. Yet he speaks to our dog, Chance, as if he can understand him.

As a School Psychologist and the founder and owner of SIGNING FAMILIES™, I often receive queries from parents who are searching for any kind of assistance to help their deaf child. For most parents, having a deaf child is an unexpected bit of news and quite a shock which leads to many questions such as: “Will my child live a ‘normal’ life - go to college, learn to drive, talk to me?” and so forth. While I don’t have a zillion answers, I do have a lot of information that others have shared with me and now I happily share it with you.

Sensory Seekers and Sensory Avoiders |

Sensory Modulation Disorder – or in basic terms: Sensory Avoiders and Sensory Seekers.
For the purpose of this post, I am going to list sensory seeking and sensory avoidant behaviors, to paint a more accurate picture of what sensory-based behaviors look like. You can consider these 'symptoms' or a 'checklist' but my real goal in posting them is to help parents and caregivers recognize the sensory challenges in the children in their life. In addition to that, I hope to paint a bigger picture of specifically of the kinds of behaviors Sensory Seekers have, as they seem to be the least understood.

Submitted by Hartley Steiner
Recently I have seen a rise in the number of articles, Facebook posts, and even tweets claiming to define what Sensory Processing Disorder is. This should be good news, and it is -- mostly. But, some of them are full of misinformation.
