One of my favorite things to help promote are community resources: people reaching out to people right where they live.
This is a selection of our favorite places out there. Please feel free to contact us with any and ALL of helpful places for families to get information, direction, and support. We'll check them out and add them, if they're acceptable!
Thanks!

SPD in the news!! Lori Fankhanel, the founder of SPDCanada was on Global Edmonton with the phenomenal Kathy Mulka from Unlimited Potentials (who is Jaimie's OT!!).

SENSORY TIME
 I came across a fantastic community resource for families learning to cope with SPD. If you're in Murrieta, California or close to there, you're in luck.
This is a new indoor play facility specialy designed for children with Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder and other special needs. The founder, Lauren Allums, is an occupational therapist who saw a need for these families and took the initiative to make it a reality. We'll be conducting an interview with this amazing woman, and her fantastic Marketing Specialist, Stacey Robinson, in a future issue of our newsletter. Please go to their website at www.sensorytimecenter.com and see what they offer and what they're all about. You'll feel the warmth of their caring the second their site uploads.
You can now see our chat over at "The Gift" blog. We also featured Stacey in our "Parent's Eyes" Section of our January newsletter. If you'd like the issue, please contact us.
(Thank you, Stacey, for contacting me about your phenomenal site.)
