Parent Connections

A program of the SPD Foundation since 2001, SPD Parent Connections is a grassroots network that provides support and information to anyone dealing with sensory processing issues. Group discussions, education, resources, and guest speakers hosted by SPD Parent Connections groups give parents, grandparents, caregivers and others living with sensational children a place to share stories and resources and to support one another. Our growing network currently has active groups in more than 80 U.S. communities and several foreign countries.

If you live in the United States, click U.S. Groups to find a Parent Connections group near you. If you don't see an existing group in your area, check back often. New groups are being formed all the time.

If you are interested in forming a U.S. group yourself, contact us at parents@spdfoundation.net.

New groups are being formed all the time. If you are interested in forming an international group yourself, contact us at parents@spdfoundation.net.

Wherever you live, there's an online community just for parents, teachers, and those who treat SPD. Sensory Planet was created by Carrie Fannin, the International Coordinator for our SPD Parent Connections program, and provides a place to meet and exchange experiences and ideas without ever leaving home.
