Thank you for visiting our site. Our interactive website is a
valuable
resource for
education, research and treatment
of Sensory processing
Disorder (SPD). We
have created a
user-friendly forum where parents
can ask questions “Ask
an OT”,
talk with other parents and professionals
“SIERF Chat
room, and gain insight regarding
SPD and other sensory
disorders
through our newsletters, chat transcript and
“Ask the OT” Bulletin Board. SIERF is a 501 © 3 Non-profit
Corporation whose vision is to
raise awareness of
SPD, a
disorder that affects 5-15% of the general population.
Individuals with SPD
have a masked potential that is not
often realized. As the disorder
goes undiagnosed,
it is often
characterized as behaviors rather than physical symptoms.
Many individuals
don’t receive the help they need to remove
the barriers that prevent them
from being
successful in life.
Our philosophy is that every individual impacted with SPD or
related
disorders, has the right to appropriate services.
